[VAC] Re: 66 overhead latches



WAM,   such genius!!!  Those overhead locker latches are pretty, but two
things come to mind.   First, if they are made of aluminum, doesn't the
bending work harden the piece at the bends, so they fail and break
easily?  The originals were made of nylon, and are still available from
you know who.  Unfortunately, he thinks he is the only supplier on
earth, and charges , probably by now, $10 dollars each.  If the latchs
you make are made of a thin stainless, and retain some of their spring,
I would gladly pay you a fair price for them.   What is fair, for a hand
made piece of stainless steel????
