Pop-top latch conundrum!

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Ellihara, Jul 19, 2018.

  1. OK - back again with another question - after the fantastic response I got to the last query on mesh for restoring bug proof screens - which are now looking great again! However, I've now spotted that the 4 latches which hold the pop-top in the down position are looking well past their best (see pictures). I've looked everywhere I an think of but am having great difficulty finding a like for like replacement. So - I thought I'd ask the Late Bay T2oogle search engine for advice! All thoughts welcome as ever...

  4. I got 2 repro ones from Jk for my Westy - I went for the yellow ones instead of the original black ones(which were perishing) - but the yellow ones are too hard and difficult to pull down onto the catches
     
  5. Actually they're sprung-loaded and made from chromed steel ... as the roof is originally from a US Safaré conversion!

  14. Read this too late, could have measured the bonnet catches on my jeep, still could tomorrow if of any use ?
     
  15. Steve - many thanks for the offer but I did some quick checks and think they're within a few mm of mine - so have put an order in. Thanks again for the thought though...
