Chuck,
I hope you are not in a terrible hurry, I sent you a page out of one my German catalogs, showing the hasps, they are definitely not chrome, unless you want them in chrome. You should get it in about a week. The Plastimo ones are definitely chrome as are the Swedish ones (thanks to Martin Westin for his help in the translation). I am in Berlin at the moment, and most of my catalogs are back home on the island, so I can't check them out. However I know I have seen them in other catalogs. The chrome ones are definitely a lot cheaper, the Swedish ones running about $13.87 each. As for the cleats (teak 3 piece), they were $49.52 from Sweden. I've seen them in Denmark, and I am sure they can be had cheaper. If you can wait till I return, I will get back to you on the prices.

Yes Alan and Walt, my local West Marine has these in stock. The problem is (1) They don't quite match the originals in that they are chrome plated and a slightly different, albeit stonger looking, configuration, and (2) the price is $54.95 each or $220 for four matching latches. If push comes to shove, I will break down and buy two and live with mix and match latches for a while. I could try special ordering the hook portion only but the minimum shipping charge is $17 dollars (I'm starting to sound cheap aren't I)
Well, Laura says no mix and match and she doesn't want me to replace the bronze latches with chrome either but it begins to look like this is going to be my solution unless someone can help me come up with two original replacements.
