Air Box latch fix 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Kerry on  Wed Feb 27 05:52 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I posted a while back on a fix for busted latches on the airbox. Attached is a photo of the installed latches (the two on the other side of the box are the same)

I mounted them using rivets and glue.

Easy, high quality, satisfying repair

I checked their online catalog and found a G latch with 17/32 projection that might work...part number 1889A22? BUT they want $4.17 each in stainless. A little spendy for 6 latches....I'd be happy with cadmium or any plated steel...the stock latches were corrosion resistant enough, it's only the air box mounting that sux.

You are a genius. I just bought some of the same latches from McMaster Carr and will report the results. I hope I do it as well. What size rivets did you use?

I don't remember. I'll check the drawer and post the size when I get home.
