Re: [VAL] latches on GTs



Eddie -

I believe the ones you are referring to are the eight sided, either  
black or white, phenolic knobs. They push in to latch and turn a  
quarter turn clockwise to unlatch. The colored part resembles an  
older plastic similar to Bakelite. I have three white ones in my  
trailer that I switched out from black ones. I traded two straight  
out and swapped out for another with some other vintage pieces. The  
last remaining black one is worn out. These are really getting hard  
to find so keep your eyes and ears open for someone who is completely  
redoing their interior.

Best of luck on your quest.
