Do you mean the yellowish plastic ones? With the knife edge?
I am going to have a couple 3d printed to see if they will work.

The ones at inland RV are not the ones I am looking for. But I do need 1 of those too.
Glad this thread was started

Those are exactly what I need. Pricey at over $21 each since I need 7 but an exact fit. Thank you for the referral. Funny, Inland also has the curved window glass I need for less than Vintage Trailer Supply but their shipping is much more expensive. Since I live in AZ I thought their shipping would be less than coming from Maine. Go figure. Will post some pictures once I am in a little better shape. Thanks to all for the replies. I love this site!

I had the latches 3D printed. They look like they will work very well. They will have to be painted however.
The day after I dropped off my broken latch to be modeled for the 3D printer I was looking at the VTS web site and they now carry them. Around 6 bucks each.
I am not able to post a picture of them since the forums app keeps crashing today.
When I am able to I will post a photo.

Here are the ones I had printed.
I took them to our local Career Tech and the class did them.
It cost me a half box of donuts, the class is small.

3d printed latches
Any chance you have the STL files or 3d print files? I need a bunch of those latches! Have a 3d printer, and I'm looking forward to putting it to good use.

No I do not. I had the kids at the career tech do it and they did not save the file.

What would be the interest if I was to start producing 3d printed parts and optionally... replicate/fabricate in aluminum?

Stl files
I’m looking for Stl files for all the latches in our ‘67 GlobeTrotter I have a new 3dPrinter and these could pay for it in just the ones I buy.
Please post files if available. Thanks
