Hi,

Im looking for one of the original brass coatches for the cockpit locker lids, Mainly the smaller hook one that fits to the underside of the lid.

Does anyone have one surplus to requirements or know where i can get one.

regards

Same problem. On my port locker I'm missing one piece on one latch pair.
Can't remember which piece it is.

On the port and starboard lockers the area for the latches is recessed
somewhat. My lazarette has no recesses and no latches. I wondered if
Minke ever had latches there.

I don't have any spare parts, but salvaged the pieces of the original catches, found in the bilge, by using 1/8" brass brazing rod to re-join the pivoted part.

Would something like this might work:Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel LOCKABLE HOLD DOWN CLAMP

Hi Alan,

I'm pretty sure mine is original. The lazarette has a single latch of
different design from the cockpit lockers and is not recessed.

Garry:

Do you happen to know if in the group archives there is a photo? If not,
when it is convenient could you take a photo. I need to fix the lazarette
closure for security and more importantly safety. I could always "slap on"
a clasp like the others.

thanx,,,

Please don't hurry. I won't have access to Minke for three weeks and have
many higher priority tasks.
