Hi - just purchased a 140 last week and in need of a glove box door, hub caps and window latches. I would also be interested in pictures and measurements on the latches if no one has any for sale.

Thank You 8474 !
There is a lot more to the latch than the pictures show !
1. There is a double reinforcement on the large link on one end.
2. The smaller link is formed with .050 in. al. vs. .040 in. al. ( that was originally used in the 46' and later production .)
3. Also the smaller link has an upgraded design that is larger in Girth. ( Normally where that link breaks.)
4. There are nylon washers in-between the moving hinged parts.
The latch will come with a "TAB" (not pictured) for opening and closing of the window latch.
If the White Ivory is to Your taste , The Owner of the A/C will need to order one and have it
mailed to me to be fitted as it will take a different pivot pin .
The price is $195 ea. plus $20 shipping and insurance or $390 per pair Total.
The Latch will be made upon the request of the Owner of the A/C Per FAA Regulations ,Owner Produced Parts (OPP).
Thanks/ John

Thanks John,
That sure seems reasonable to me, especially considering the Wag-Aero prices
Mine are still serviceable, but all sloppy in the linkages. I will put yours on my wish list for sure.
Take care
