As the screw pattern is not the same, I assume you had to silicone fill all the old holes?JaSAn said:I replaced mine with the painted version of these:

If you just want restore the current latches the best solution is a protective coating like POR-15.
Then there are rust inhibitors that will need to be reapplied periodically.
The least effective is an oil as it is washed off by rain rather quickly and need to be reapplied often.
For threads an anti-seize or other non water soluble grease will work but will need periodic checking and re-application.
My Grandby is old (1976) so I had the old style draw latches so I was drilling new holes anyway.buckland said:As the screw pattern is not the same, I assume you had to silicone fill all the old holes?

For a sexy color, choose a high visibility color for the parts visible when latch is open to make it easy to see that all latches are released when popping the top & that all are closed when preparing to leave. Two birds, one stone.buckland said:I spent an hour wire brushed them all. I then snuck in and got the wife's "Hard as Nails" clear enamel and coated them all where there was rust. I can live with it. A lot less work/time/money. Maybe I'll go with a sexy color next time!
