I stumbled upon a source from case latches (real name is draw bolts) while looking for tractor parts. They have other case hardware too. Just thought it might help someone here.

Wonderful resourse for aluminum competition cases with problems.

I've been doing a search for latches similar to these, to replace the ones on an original Perazzi case. Turned up this source:

Similar is not really accurate. What I was looking for is called "briefcase latches".

[quote=eightbore]Wonderful resourse for aluminum competition cases with problems. [/quote ]And an even better RESOURCE -is Suponski doing your copy writing nowadays? Looking forward to his up and coming magazine article on the metallurgy of older shotgun barrels. Why shoot, Billy- I'm even in such a good mood nowadays, I even had friend Brad B send a set of early 11 gauge English Twist barrels from a first series Lifter to the good Doc- for his destructive tests. Betcha the "Ka-Boom" will make the EOD training I had at Courthouse Bay with Det Cord and C-4 seem like de ja vu all over again. Ta Ta!! RWTF
