Where can I find these over-centre latches or catches?

Please see photo.

They are in the UK, but what is a source in North America, especially in Canada?

Thanks

Jim

You can buy them through Univair or Wag Aero. Wag just resells the Univair units.

Univair has them as Stinson latches. You have to be careful on eBay - some of these were made from plain steel. The ones from Univair are all stainless.

Yes, they were a common part used in Stinsons and Cubs. Univair stamps them with the Stinson part number.

You are correct, Univair has them at over $200 each! I got some at Aircraft Spruce for a fraction of the price. (items 05-01187 and 05-01188) May not be stainless, but the ratings ("This latch provides 700 lbs. Ultimate strength and 100 lbs. Working strength.") are OK

thats quite reasonable, compared to at my shop rate($85/hr), stripping paint?, polishing and replacing the pin and wing stud and still having a old used rebuilt one when finished....
