Long story: I notched both sides because I wanted to grind off the bar down to bare metal as a single piece rather than a dozen small pieces, but I wanted to keep the markings, so, I cut them like this. Then my grinding wheel decided it wasn't interested. Oh well.

Spiral gate latch by Colin Hamilton

Here you can see how the latch is mounted only further down the side of the gate stile, and by pushing down on the sprung metal handle it unlocks it from the catch.

The latch pin, the hook of VCM and a projecting part of the permanent magnet of VCM, which attracts a metal piece in the latch when the arm is loaded, are seen.

There's a button under the latch that does this cool tilt and open thing, but I couldn't leave it open like that so there's no photo

10b Door Latches by Dan C

These are door latches as used on Porsche race cars from the mid 60's to early 80's. They are also regular production parts used on VW engine lids.

Over the years VW made about a dozen versions of this latch. Only the ones with a removable chrome top, three screws, and a short lower section are suitable for race cars. Even the latches in this photo have different part numbers. The one on the left (113 827 503) has a softer edge on the chrome button than the one on the right (111 827 503).

Most 917's have a lever welded onto the jaw to make it easier for the driver to open the door. I may do that at some point but it's not all that hard to pull the jaw open with your fingers.

Latch fit check by Alex Cockroach

Trying them out on actual hanging shutters. Note the washer stackup on the bracket that allows the arm to fit. It works, but I will still need to climb a ladder to open and close them.
