    Default Case Latch Parts for TKL Tweed Repair

    I'd love to repair this broken latch from a TKL tweed deluxe. Any suggestions?

    Contact ''Brettuns Village'' in Lewiston,Maine, & have a look at their website :- https://www.brettunsvillage.com/trun...o/parts/hasps/

    Send them an e-mail with a pic. of your latches & i'm pretty sure that they'll have similar ones. You'll have to drill the heads off the existing rivets - carefully !. You can then push the rivets out & replace them with new ones. 'Brettuns' will most likley have the correct sized rivets as well. If you use 'split' rivets,you can secure them with a small hammer & a heavy block of some sort ie. you don't need a rivetting tool,

    Thanks, Ivan. If I can find a close match, I can just remove the draw-bolt portion and re-attach it to the existing base pieces. Will check out Brettun's. (Stew-Mac has something close, in chrome, but clearly not an exact match.)

    If nothing is wrong with base pieces, no holes split or pieces broke off, you should be able to buy a steel rod of correct diameter and make you own. My question would be, if there is nothing wrong with base pieces what happened to the draw loop?
