rick Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 pt. # MTC3917 Anyone have any idea who the current supplier is to Land Rover ? My old '98 has the brand 'Pesca' stamped on them, but this is drawing a blank searching the www. The damned retaining spring (a small piano wire type spring) has totally broken on one so it pops open as I drive down the road, and one leg has broken on the other, so it's on it's way out, but I'm damned if I'm going to pay over A$100 each for an over centre latch ! Any leads appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 these might work out a bit cheaper tailgate latch hicap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks Ralph. Looks like the pound has slipped quite a bit to our $ over the last month too. That price works out at $64 + freight, so quite bit better but still silly money for a latch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 are there any vehicle body builders [dropsode truck bodies] in your area or state, quite a few use these overcentre latches now instead of the antiluce & pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
