Who has the best latch? or they :confused: all the same | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 | I have heard that the reproduction latches are junk. I did not use them. I managed to get a couple of NOS latches, and they work perfectly. And the NOS latches only cost me $10 more than the repro ones. I see NOS latches on ebay every once in awhile, I got mine from BowTie Bits in Wichita and from Tom's in Miami Oklahoma. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 16 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 16 | Thanks Brian, i heard the same. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 92 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 92 | You will keep hearing it as well. I bought repo and it worked very poorly before falling apart within six months. Found NOS for about $20.00 more.

or, do like i did - got mine out of a dodge talon type car - installed the same way | | |
