Hi Fellow Maters,I own a 1984 Convincor which I am trying to restore,but am having a bad time finding the Locking mechanism for the engine hatch or one that will fit in that big hole!!! If anyone knows where these parts may be available,please let me know!!! I bought 2 sets of VDO guages online because the ones that Checkmate used are discontinued,NOW!!!

I got my latches for a 89 Senator through Checkmate.. But, Had to make up longer arms under hatch to work.. I made the arms out of stainless stock.. My holes were retangular
 
If your restoring, I suspect your gonna be doing new sunpad and interior. How about going with a hydralic lift and doing away with the old style latch.
