AEW boot latch
#1
Hi

I have managed to misplace my boot lid latch. It is a very simple rotating tongue that locates into a plate in the boot lid opening. The tongue is rotated into the locked/open positions by using a simple T shaped key.

What do A7 saloons, opals, etc. use?

I have attached a photo of an early mini boot lid latch which I cannibalize.

I assume that any suitable A7 component would be rare anyway?

Regards Peter

Budget locks are common ironmongers' stock; try your local hardware store, if you have one!

Hi Mike and Jeff

thanks for getting back to me - I will take a look at your suggestions. I hope to go to the centenary rally next year...you are welcome to come and take a look at the solution!

My car registration is AML807 (I guess I will be in a group something like coach built not Gordon England).

Regards Peter
