What is the travel trunk latch supposed to look like?
A previous owner had used wood screws, an aluminum block, and latch from a Samsonite suitcase. Ugly as it was, it was mainly functional, but then the JB Weld holding the aluminum spacer block came loose. Yes, I did try to re-JB-Weld it, to no avail.
I'm not really that concerned with the ability to lock it. However I'm open to suggestions for something better than the previous hack I used involving a tie-wrap (zip-tie, etc.).
