[Gmcnet] Front Hatch latches

[Ken Henderson]

Fin,

A lot of people have installed concealed latches of varying complexity.  
One of the simplest ways is to mount a pull-chain latch (like commonly 
used on the fixed half of double doors) at each side of the hatch, with 
strikers on the fixed surround.  A chain between the two can be reached 
through the top opening of the grille to pull both latches simultaneously.

Since installing concealed latches implies body work to close the old 
latch holes, fiberglass work for the new latch mounting doesn't 
seriously complicate the task.
