These are NICE they look NOS. I cant tell you how many people that bought them told me so!! :TU: So if you need one or more $89 plus S&H or inquire how to buy in quanity to save money.
I have purchased one of these and they fit and look just like the originals.... Get rid of the cracked or worn door and replace it with one of these!!!! :TU:
Mike any thoughs where to get the male part of the latch that fits in the lid? I am in need of one. Ihave the part that fits in the console but missing the one for the lid. Thanks Bill.
Like this - http://v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=160895 It's a bad design, IMHO - too hard to release, wants to pull out of the lid. I've found a little grinding on mine remedied the problem.
John thanks for pointing me to the pictures I did not remember what thay looked like either. I am in need of two. I have the other part, made by National Tuch Latch. Thanks Bill.
You can find them in other Buicks as well - I seem to recall that there was a thread somewhere that listed the cars - I think mine came out of a Wildcat a few years older than my '69...I think Rivieras used them too, for a while. Check the yards for console cars. John
John thanks for the additional information. I will look for one out off a early Wildcat or a Riv, thanks Bill.
National Tuch Latch is still in business. I purchased a dozen of these a year ago, from a hardware store that carried them, for about $5 each. I posted the details on this site, too.
