I don’t need those yet, but that’s a good part to have on hand. My parking brake is pretty chunked and pitted in the plastic handle, so that’s another one I’d be very interested in.

That is on the list. I actually need a nice stock example to model.

A machined aluminum replacement? That would be slick. I know Rust Farmers are working on a plastic replacement that looks really good as well. Be great to have both options for people who are looking for either a "near OEM" or a tougher upgraded unit.
 
Here is the 3d print of the 4 parts. Waiting on my latches from powder coat.

Rats - Glad a solution is coming to you soon!

Update on the "Snickle Latch"

I am pleased to provide you with an update on the "snickle latch" replacement project. This presents an excellent opportunity for us to make some improvements. I will also include this update in the first post for clarity.

I'm excited to share that I've found a manufacturer based in Tahoe, California, right here in the United States. The pricing they offer is within a dollar of what we were getting from China. What's particularly appealing is that this will be a USA-manufactured part. I've already placed a deposit for a production run of 50 sets. The finishing process will involve bead blasting and anodizing them in black, which should give the latch a stock-like appearance. (The finish should resemble the example below.) I'm currently working on finalizing the pricing, including shipping materials. I am leaning towards a base price and shipping thorough a 3rd party like shopify.

Production is scheduled for the middle to late November, and I'm aiming to have these shipped out in early December.

Additionally, I'd like to mention that the China prototype is expected to be on its way to me within the next week.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Best regards, Fritz
