Replacement Locker Latches

[Jokani]

One of the locker latches on my Westerly Centaur has broken, the spindle has snapped.

Tried contacting Trafalgar Yachts without success.

Any ideas where I could source something similar?



TIA

Can you not drill out behind it removing the embedded broken pin part .... glue in a section of dowel ...... drill and use a 'screw' as a pin ?

I think you are right, I think I should approach this with more of a PBO attitude, what you suggest will work for me, and shouldn't be too tricky.

I was too locked in to buy/replace mode, thanks for your advice.

You could cut it off flush, drill and tap a hole, then screw one of these in. Epoxy in place then cut the back off flush.

Another great idea thanks Paul, I also have the right size bolt on board, plus I have a tap and die set that will do the job. Cheers!

You could even put a split pin through pending more permanent repair...
