DuBro 242 1/4 turn latch, don't believe they are available today. I have a pack thatI havebeen saving for a future build. Might just find at a flee market, tis the season. You know the table where there's a box that someone cleaned a DuBro display rack into, 50 cents, any pack, three for a buck. Might even find a Perfect fuel tank!
