<VV> Ramp Latches???

[Frank DuVal]

Yes, they share parts. Only the tongue changes length depending on 
application.

Dann in California has reproduced these latches for the Rampside. I have 
bought a set in stainless steel. He is the supplier to California 
Corvair parts, who sells them on ebay to Cameo owners!

The thread on Corvair Center Forum about all the dies he made to 
reproduce them is amazing.

So, brand new Rampy latches are now available. Stainless steel and 
chrome plated versions.
