Re: MisterC's "Project Luigi" Thread

Not much free time today, but I finally got around to "borrowing" an idea that I saw at the CPP show. Being a tightwad, I wasn't currently prepared to purchase the hidden latches that Mar-K sells.

Consequently, I purchased a pair of Stainless Marine Hatch Hinges off of eBay for $36 and proceeded to install them. I had to purchase some #10 stainless sheet metal screws to secure them, but that was inexpensive as well.

I removed the stock latches, chains and hardware too. I do plan on purchasing the Mar-K tailgate link assembly in the near future.

I'm not sure that they'll be good if I use the tailgate alot (tight fit), but they sure do look good and hold the tailgate secure.
