Repro Hatches
Who sells the repro hatches? I could have sworn I had a catalog from someone that sells them but can't find them now. I know they were about $385 for just the shell.

Brothers had them in the online catalog when I was surfing their site last night. $449 I believe.

I FIT ONE A LITTLE WHILE BACK ON ONE OF MY BLAZERS, FOR SHAWN OF ****************, TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE INSTALLATION & QUALITY OF THEM , TO SEE IF HE WANTED TO STOCK THEM. THE OVERALL FIT WAS PRETTY GOOD, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE FAR FROM A BOLT-ON HATCH. THE HINGE HOLES HAD TO BE LOWERED ABOUT 1/4" (NO BIG DEAL WITH A DIE GRINDER & A CARBIDE BURR) AND ALL THE ATTACHING POINTS FOR THE HARDWARE NEEDED (ON THE SIDES)TO BE CUT OUT, MADE OUT OF A SOLID PIECE OF ALUMINUM,POP RIVITED TO THE FIBERGLASS, & GLASSED OVER. THE ATTACHING POINTS FOR THE HOLD OPEN BRACKETS WERE JUST NUTS BONDOED IN PLACE (& THEY DIDN'T HOLD EVEN ONE TIME).ALL IN ALL THEY LOOKED PRETTY GOOD, & WITH SOME WORK THEY COULD BE A REALLY NICE HATCH, BUT THE ONE I TRIED WASN'T EXACTLY AN LEISERLY AFTERNOON , BOLT ON PROPOSITION.  JOHN( THIS IS JUST MY UNBIASED OPINION BASED ON MY EXPERIANCE)

I bought one at Brothers about 5 years ago. The hard part is the hardware, latches and linkages. My old hatch got destroyed in a freak ranchgate accident and pieces & parts went all over the desert. I had to scrounge for a while to get it back right.
