My Model T (Basket Case) has three latches that look like the attached photo. I'm looking for one more, to replace the missing one. I found something close for antique tractors, but nothing identical. Anyone seen any like this?

Early Jeep ??

Imperial brass was the manufacturer, they made many minor variants in different sizes. Some dimensions might be helpful.

this one looks right but no base. charley

Wow! You guys amaze me with how quickly you reply, and with pictures!!!

I took one of mine apart, put the significant parts next to a ruler. The overall length is dependent on the amount that the screw is driven into the "hook" I LOVE the brass ones, but if I'm replacing all of mine, I'd need four. Are there four available? They would really accent the brass rivets that hold the wicker on the fenders.

I'm not sure the black ones are long enough, but I'm interested. The one without the base could probably be made to work with a different base.

Are any of these for sale?

the one i have is brass,but you can paint.the body looks to be about a 1/4' SHORTER.THE HOOK LOOKS TO BE THE SAME.$20.00 post paid.charley
