I have exhaustively searched the internet for a certain type of case latch with no luck. StewMac only sells the drawbolt types found on newer cases. My case goes with an 86 Rick 4003 and has these fancy, albeit delicate, latches on it. Here are some pictures if anyone knows where I may be able to find this crap:

Thanks in advance, Jonathan (sorry I post so much...I don't mean to be a nuisance)

If you're going to drill those rivets out to put in a new one you can also install something that is larger and will cover the holes. Have you tried just doing a generic search for locks latches

Yeah, and all I could find was the standard drawbolt design in several variations. There wasn't anything like these latches on any of the websites that sold such parts. I'm cold, alone, and lost with a broken guitar

I spent fifteen minutes looking last night - I'm amazed I couldn't come up with anything - as a last resort buy a small briefcase new/used that is inexpensive or damaged BUT has minty locks of course - or you could try for what it's worth e-mailing some briefcase manufacturers or guitar case manufacturers for that matter and asking if they could sell you a set - then you may also want to check any seller of amp parts as they might also sell case hardware though it doesn't come uo in searches
