I removed this post from superdave008’s thread and opened this new one.
I had recovered two latches from a salvage GT2 but the rear glass striker pin was badly rusted and the other striker pin was missing.
Not in too good of shape but may work.
As for the engine cover I'll use a Bear claw unit with a lock servo to release it.
That Bear claw maybe the best ideal for the rear window too.
I would need to make a pin to mount to the window with a 1/2" latching collar mounted or welded to the side to connect to the BearClaw latch.
I took the drawings to machine shop today to see what they would charge to make new striker pins.
The owner said he would make 6 at $10 ea. So I told him to go ahead and make the six.
The pins will be made from ½” round stock and to the length of 2”.
If anyone wants one he can have it for cost and shipping. I’m keeping two for myself.
I had the rusted pin from the rear glass it looked to be 1” in length, instead of the 2 plus inches of the drawing. Maybe the original GT2 owner had cut the pin down about an inch. This pin was so badly rusted you would not know what was if you had not seen it removed from the window.
