Hello,

Helix is a 67 Twister and her internal locker catches have seen better days. The lockers have a grab handle and it is linked to the internal catch. ive searched everywhere for new ones without success. anyone have any ideas where to find replacements.

Thanks

Stephen

Do you mean this type (as fitted to my boat)?

Years ago, when one of mine broke, I found a source of replacements in the USA but, deterred by the cost, I managed to repair it myself.

If you try googling "retro kitchen cabinet latches" you might be lucky. Alternatively, a tour of second-hand furniture shops might throw up a complete kitchen cabinet fitted with them!

Hi John,

Yes they are the ones. Think they were fitted to most twisters in the early days. Sure ill find some, hadn't really considered fixing them, its only the catches that are the problem.

Many thanks

Stephen
