Eberhard Manufacturing is the one who makes/made the draw latch for Amtech Turtle top.
Series 770.
The ones that came with my top are not correct.

Re: SOUTHCO Draw Latch For Windshield
Amtech Helmet product brochure has D-HMV122 as the kit part number with contact info: Paula Meyer at (800) 537-0762, militarysales@amtechcorp.com
Kascar has the kit part number listed but out of stock. Picture has draw type latch & clip. Zooming in shows a stamped part number, however illegible.
SouthCo has several pages in their catalog. Several are close. I didn't see one with a hole in the latch.

Re: SOUTHCO Draw Latch For Windshield
Rock; thanks; no, those aren't right.
I was trying to avoid Amtech as I heard they are hard to deal with when you are just an individual.
Plus, avoid paying $131 for $30 worth of clamps.
Maybe no choice.

Re: FOUND: Maker of Draw Latch For Windshield
Even though they are made by Eberhart, they didn't have any in stock, and would only re-order if I wanted 500 of them.
So, I called Amtech (now McClarin Plastics), and talked to Kirk, the sales Manager.
They had them in stock and I had them in 3 days. They come with the latches, screws, strikes, and some big rivets which I replaced with SS sheet metal screws (into the windshield frame) because the rivets are 1/4 inch and I don't have a gun that big.
I was wrong about Amtech; they are easy to deal with, and not as expensive as people told me. They even have the complete hard tops in stock, ready to ship to you.
Work great.
