Greetings. Metal fatigue has claimed one of the latches holding down my convertable top. Im having trouble locating one. Would a latch off of a 1962 Thunderbird convertable likely work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I do not know..

Hello, Thank you in advance. Recently purchased a 1962 Galaxie Sunliner Which has the following problem. There seem to be a type of subframe which the gas tank sits in (?). The tank straps actually hook in to this piece. I have found this area I am trying to describe has mostly rusted away. One...
