lostinthe202 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Greetings! Several years ago I was approached about making a replacement for the rear window latches on EA81 hatches. I made a couple of batches while I had access to the equipment to do so. They worked out well and I've been approached about whipping up another batch. So, here's a call out to see who is interested. How it works, You ship me your busted latches as a core, all the steel bits have to be there. I take your metal bits and mount them in the aluminum (6061-t6) handle that I'll be making. I assemble it, I can sandblast the steel hardware for those that want to repaint, then send it back to you. Shipping overseas is fine, but maybe cost you a bit extra depending. Price is $65 for a pair. Assembly is pretty straight forward, so an alternative is that I just ship you the handles and you put it together yourself, up to you. Here's a pic of the handle with hardware installed. Also a link to the Vendor forum where you should place your order.

I have't been active on the board the last few years, things do change. Thanks for the tip I75eya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinthe202 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Historic section still only applies to the 70's cars last time I checked. I checked and that appears to still be correct. I suppose these latches might work on historic models, dunno, never owned one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the sucker king Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 actually I think the 80-84 subies are probably better grouped with the historic forum. The pushrod era. OHV represent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
