Hello all;

So many posts, I know! I finished the latch instal so here are the last of the pictures for the series. I think it turned out good, about the only thing I would change would be the depth of the front mounts as I went a little deep. You can see the rear mount only has about a1/2” of rod used, but the front is nearly maxed out at over an 1”.
They still work fine, and I am really happy with how they turned out. With the black anodized finish, once the truck is painted they will disappear. They are super strong and secure as well.

Stay safe,
Steve
