Hi Guys, I managed to break the latch on my hard bags that keeps the bag closed. (Ignore the grime). It looks like its part 17 in Hebco & Beckers diagram. Does anyone know if this latch is available to be purchased anywhere? Or have any suggestions for repairing it?

A little more research indicates that its part number 700.134. I've found it at a few places online. |

Those things suck. I finally gave up on buying new ones and drilled 4 holes and used some safety wire to keep the snapped halves together. |

I Have successfully repaired the one on mine that broke. I used the epoxy specially formulated for plastic repairs. Make sure the box is completely closed before you engage the latch, DO NOT rely on the latch to lever the box closed!. billg |
