Reply to "Wing latches???"

jlb351 - Latches are a tough one...I have a THEORY only. Theory is: the actual latch mechanism comes from some 50s/60s Alfa (see photo, my notes say "Alfa Barchetta door latch", I think these parts were advertised on the internet a few years ago, might still be available). DeTomaso took the basic latch and added the rectangular steel plate on top (see other photos) and made all the cuts, welds and bends that made that latch fit and work in its intended position - each one is different. Anybody seen the basic latch on on old Alfa, or another car?
