The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi, I have a smoothed boot on my MGB, and absolutely no locking mechanism(s) whatsoever. It is a fibreglass tailgate that was previously held down by two simple external spring/latch type things, which although worked extremely well they don't offer much in the way of security!

It was years ago since I thought about it, but I know there is some kind of latch/locking mechanism with a cable pull release that I can get to fit to the inside of the tailgate (but I can't remember what they are called! 'Bear' springs to mind ....?!).

Anyone help at all?!

loads of cars have this as standard. Get yourself down the scrapies and get one out of a rover if its cable pull you want or a focus if you fancy electric.
