I am looking for 2 original storage compartment latch strikers with hardware like those pictured below. I am not sure if other year strikers are the same but as long as they look like the one below that would be fine.

I know they are being reproduced but the repros do not look like the originals and they use different hardware.

If anyone has any to sell please let me know.

Thank you,
Ed

I was just looking today for the exact same thing. I only need one and was hesitant to buy the repros ones cause they come in a pack of 3 and apparently don't look the same as originals. I didn't know that.
If you find a third one I may be interested in it also. Also for a 1969. I seem to be missing the center one for some reason.
thanks

Hopefully Joe can help us both out.
I have not seen the repros up close but the pics seem to show that the bottom bar that the screws thread into is different and the screws do not look like fine thread as the originals. The latch itself looks ok. If I have to, I will buy the repros but I will make my own threaded flat bar but will need to find the proper screws.

Its a little ridiculous as I'll probably never get the car judged and even if I did I don't think they would look at the latches, not sure. But the rest of the car is pretty original and I figured maybe someone has some sitting around. Little details.....

I took one of mine out that I do have and took a picture of it. Do I have similar to yours or something different ?

ed427vette

From what I see it looks the same. The screws should have a fine thread and they do look like what I have versus what I think is available as repro. Does your bar have an S stamped into it?

Sorry Guys. I cannot find my misc hardware for the rear compartment. I must have sold it before. You can check ebay. I am attaching a link for the entire original frame, looks to include the latches also.

Thanks Joe,
I have that auction saved. I've been buying from Glenn a lot lately. He has some great items and priced very well.
Thanks again,
Ed

Ed,
Yes, I have picked up a few items from him recently. Every time I turn around I am missing something else for my 69' frame off.
Over the last 4 years it has been to 3 different shops and each of them lost pieces parts....
Argh!

I'm fairly certain I have the complete center door and latch. I will check for you in the next couple of days and let you know for sure.

The parts I have for sale are a complete center storage compartment lid with hinge and latch assembly in excellent condition.
I can ship via flat rate box for a total of $38.45 in the continental US.

The only parts I need would be the latch strikers. That's is the metal part that attaches to the plastic 3 compartment frame, one for each comparment. I think the parts you have are not what I need.
But thank you anyway.

vetteguy22

No problem.
They are the right parts it's just that I don't want to separate them without including the cover, hinge, etc.
