I am very excited to announce that my latch restoration service is just about ready to go.
I managed to prepare my first sample for all to judge. Please keep in mind the following:
Pictures do not convey the true colors but I tried to snap the best shots possible.
Also please remember that plating 30 plus years ago has oxidized and will not look like freshly
plated parts. This is as close as I managed to get in copying the finish and I am quite pleased.
All comments are welcome.
Once I get a rad hood latch completed I will launch the service in the New Products/Service section of moparts.
Thank you to all my clients for their patience. It has taken over 10 months of research to get here.
Jules



Very Nice Work Jules.

Thank you very much guys for the compliments.
Concerning the variations on the washers the answer is yes.
I have come across green tint, red tint, black plating and clear zinc.
I also have nos latches and safety hooks as well as the pictures members
have so graciously emailed me. I had a decision to take and I decided to
do them as what I believe to be factory assembly parts. It would seem that
the nos ones would be over the counter but I am not positive at this point.
Typically what I will do is check the clients' part with some investigative
observation and proceed from there. I will entertain special needs but I
have to try and contain the variations in order to control the costs and
inventory of parts.
I did a 71 Roadrunner rad latch today. Look at the differences from the above
latch. Tomorrow I will do an NOS duplicate with red rivets and another with green.

Jules,

Do you still need some pics? My rear latch isn't NOS, but it is mint (down to the yellow grease). If you do, I'd pull it off the car and take some proper pictures. Let me know.

Sure Dave. Thanks.
I'll put it in my files for reference.
I just got an nos challenger rad latch from Dave Mounsey so that I can take
pictures and make a comparison shoot.

Thanks Mike.
I have noticed that about some nos latches out there.
The backs are galvanized.
To date all the latches I have received from clients cars have the brown finish on the back plate.
I will be going with the assembly line finishes. I would not be able to get the back plates galvanized in the
checker pattern anyway because they were stamped from already galvanized sheets of steel.
Thanks
Jules

Dave Mounsey was kind enough ( and brave enough) to ship me his NOS challenger latch so that I could
duplicate the look and take some side by side pictures.
Thanks Dave.
