Reassembled photo below. My TTA is currently serving as storage for it's own interior parts, so I haven't installed the unit yet. A spare is in it's place.

Yes, they are replacements from TDS. The powder actually provides a slicker surface for the nylon to slide on.

How-to tips: Get a 1/4" cobalt drill bit for the latch rivets. #12 bolts to reattach the latch. I hate electrical tape, it gets all gooey, so I replaced it with spiral loom. It looks cleaner too.

I need a sheet of insulator like Dynaliner to install this latch, and I'll have a spare to sell.

Yeah... If I wasn't elbows deep in my LS1 swap I would be interested in getting a new latch.
