Would anyone with an original top box, the silver one with the fluted bits in it, please be able to have a look at the fastening for the latch that holds the box onto the bar at the back of the rack please?

I have a latch, I have a box, I have to fit the one to the other and wondered if it was rivetted or nut and bolted on.....a quick peek inside yours and a decko at the outside end of the fastners would be everso helpful, if you would be so kind to give some information please!
 
ahh you got a latch I forgot about ya sorry.
riveted on I seem to remember.

That'll do for me! Yes, I am still at it and haven't given up hope of getting her back on the road. There is a little electrickery that needs doing (the new driving lights to wire into the existing routing.....just fiddly and all that nice heat shrink to remove first!)
I am sure I can source some small, trifold rivets and use a bit of Sikaflex to keep the rain out to get the top box back to usability.

Mucho grassy ass. :thumby:

Thank you - yes. It is those fasteners on the black interior section of the latch that holds it onto the rack - two rivets with washers, two lower ones without. I think I have found set too! :thumby:
