pi7ot Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I'm looking for the exact style of latch found on the 2001 year Birkin. They are made by Dzus, but have no part number. They have the square lock button on the center of the flip lever. cheers. m
slomove Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I used such adjustable draw latches in stainless with safety lock from McMaster. Not exactly the same as the ones installed before but pretty close: http://www.mcmaster.com/LIBRARY/20120730/1864A170L.GIF
Jackal Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Let me check in the garage I rent tomorrow. I imagine that you are looking for replacement parts for the set you have. I know I don't have a full set, which is why I settled on other latches. I can post pics tomorrow. Mine will be from a 1999 Birkin.
pi7ot Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 I lost one. Another one had failing rivets. I only need one, but would like to have a spare. Cheers. m
Jackal Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I got caught up tossing my old BBQ, buying a new one and then assembling and cooking in it today. I'll hit the garage tomorrow and gather them up.
maurice1 Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) The Birkin bonnet latches are manufactured by Dzus, and the description is an Under Center Draw Latch, stainless steel with a Secondary Catch. I had a devil of a time trying to locate them here in Australia but eventually located a supplier not far from me. If I brought them from our Australian Birkin agent they were just stupidly expensive . Just find a Dzus supplier and you will be able to source them.

I'll hit the garage tomorrow and gather them up. Yes Please. I'll take them if you find them. Birkin za may have some but they aren't the most spritely in response... unless it is critcism:jester: The correct ones will have the word "DZUS" on the mounting plinth. m

Yesterday I had to run to a different city to deal with a family pet emergency. I just got back and will pop by the garage tomorrow.
Jackal Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Here is a shot of the latches I have. I'm pretty sure they are the ones you need. I only have two of the hooks for the latches though. What parts are you looking for? http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/IMG_1364.jpg
pi7ot Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Those are what I'm looking for. $$+ Shipping? m
pi7ot Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 Duane. They arrived Yesterday PM.:party: Thanks Much. m ps. Your inbox is full.
Jackal Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Glad they arrived. I hope all was in order and you have what you need. I may have another odd part or two for the latches laying around. I'll keep my eyes peeled if you need them.
