Default PKE front

I'm looking for the front half of a Coupe PKE. Mine has a broken latch and I'm tired of putting tape on it. Oh it's for a '93.

Thanks

Put some rubber cement around the edges of both halves & secure with a rubber band, after waiting for the cement to dry for a few minutes.

After a while remove the rubber band & the parts shud stay together.
Nice part is you can easily pry them apart to replace batteries, etc. Did mine 2 years ago & still has not come apart.

And the newer style is thicker and held together with screws. But I like the lower profile 93 style with the more pronounced beveled edges.

Black electrical tape works well too and its fairly inconspicuous.
