The latches were media-blasted and primed with etching primer before their attachment points were blacked out and they were bolted into place.

The set of rubber grommets that are needed to complete their installation are due in tomorrow afternoon. With them, the cables can be installed and this will be ready for primer.

With so much of this car in such awful condition, it is really great to be able to reuse original parts instead of replacing them.
