mkI/mkII hood latches
« on: July 04, 2012, 10:03:38 pm »
Anyone know a source or p/n for the little plastic piece on the hood side of the latch? it surrounds the shaft and holds the spring in place.

I've two latches, one piece disintegrated and the other is pretty much halfway there.

Any help would be appreciated.

That really would be a good part for someone to start making.
 So we wouldn't have to buy the whole piece.

So there's just one p/n for the whole upper part of the latch?

How much would you pay for one machined from delrin?
