G'day,
Awhile back TomP was visiting JohnR down in Florida and they went to visit a buddy of John's that runs an RV store. Tom spotted a
cabinet latch that was a direct replacement for the ones used in 1975 Avions. The store owner gave Tom and John the two he had in
stock.
Tom sent me a email about them and I got excited as I'd been looking for several to replace the broken ones in Double Trouble. I
contacted John and he got his buddy to order 20 of them.
I took four of them and brought the rest to Chippewa Falls where JimK bought them for his stock.
Here's a link to what they look like:

Contact JimK if you need one. BTW I would suggest any and every Avion owner buy at least one as a spare they are rare as rocking
horse poop!

These looked awful familiar. They look just like the latch on the vacuum cleaner door of my '74. I called Nick and he checked them out and yep they are the same. I ordered two.

Steve,
Yep, when I showed them to JimK at Chippewa Falls he noted they were used in GMC's as well but I couldn't remember where when I
wrote my original message so I didn't mention it.
