I’m having an interesting email conversation with ThorUSA. They are great getting back to me with great answers about parts and upgrading idea.
hit a snag though. The plastic piece I need only comes in a whole frame latch assembly. Their number 31-02-05. I can’t find it but it looks like they are referring to what they have labeled “ super old latch assembly “
second hitch, the plastic safety piece shown has no way of holding the latch bar closed. I am waiting for another reply from them as to my mistake or some other goof.
meanwhile, I get tubes tomorrow and this baby is going to roll around the neighborhood for a test ride. I know what will hold that latch closed and I got a big bag of them: zip ties!
i will keep you posted.
