Trunk latches
For anyone interested I have changed the trunk latches again. Now I am happy with them. I didn't get a chance to get a picture on the last sidecar as it shipped while I was away, but I will get a picture as soon as I can. B

Ready to come home
I really wanted some outdoor pictures but as usual the darn rain won't stop. I'm sure better pictures will be taken in Florida.
