Looking to get some case latches
I don't know the exact right word for these latches, see photo, but they are the plastic or metal latches that hold the machine down in the cases. Or better yet they keep the case bottoms from falling away when you pick up the machine.
I've got several cases with broken latches and one missing.
So I was wondering if those of you who have had to junk out cases might have saved the latches and would be willing to sell me some? I'd like to get about a half dozen.
Either that or maybe somebody knows of a source for them. I've not seen them for sale, and my local SMG is clueless.

I had one of those handy for some reason and tried it. Works to a certain extent but not as good as the originals.
Next trip to the hardware store I'll check and see if there are different shapes of those things.
I'd still like some originals though.

We had some of those mirror things looked like stars - I doubt if it would work but it would look cool.
