I'll try to get some pictures of the various hardware bits. That may take a
while (it's not life or death, especially compared to the thermostat housing
leak I sprung on the drive in this morning :( grumble @$#@% DPO)
Anyway, thank you all for the adjustment suggestions. On the topic of the
latches themselves, at first glance it looked like one set was made up of three
cast and chromed pieces (the part that bolts to the hard or softop, the middle
hinge link, and the latch), and the other set of two cast pieces and one stamped
part (i.e. cast bolt-on, cast hinge, and stamped latch). Yesterday evening it
looked like the latch that I thought was chromed, cast , may actually be a
stamped part where the hook at the end has the seam welded shut and then they
chromed it. I'll keep you posted on further developments in this area.
