Default Very broke hatch latch assembly

Anyone got an alarm hatch latch assembly? 928intl is out. The casting for the alarm vs non-alarm is different. I don't need the lock or even a key, just the housing itself.

Did you try Roger at 928rus? Or perhaps DC Automotive for a used part?

Muggy Weld might work to solder that, as an option if you can't find a good replacement.

Try Mark Benton at mark@theninesource.com. He's gettin' out of the 928 used parts biz but may have one lying around. Good luck, man.

For what it's worth, my (non-alarm) latch is broken the same way. Has been for 3 years now. I've been watching the usual suspects for a used one to come up, but they are like hen's teeth, and the alarm one's are even rarer!

JB weld held for a while, but It eventually gave up.
I just replaced the pin and plastic latch piece, and it still latches fine, so I think I'm stuck with it for a while.

HTH,
