Description

Part to replace the broken latch on vt/vx commodores sedans.

you will need to reuse the metal tab, cut off the broken 'tower' sand the flap where this part will go, flat and then glue it on. I used superglue for the first one and Araldite for the second. So far so good.


Use 'Tree' Supports in Crua, easier to clean up afterwards than regular supports.

PTEG was a bit stringy on the platforms, but after cleaning it up didn't impact the function.

I don't believe the VY/VZ flaps have the raised center section i have glued to, so possibly would need a remix to make it slightly taller
