THe '67 wing windows don't have holes through them. The vent latch was specific to '67 only. Hope this helps.

I have the glass.What would be required to use`67-style latches?

**special-K** · 05-10-2008, 07:36 AM

TTT or I could just take a look at a`67.

I'm not sure. If the glass is meant for 67 latches couldn't you just change the latches? I'm sure you know that already, so maybe I'm not understanding the question.

I think that's right - I got some windwings from a '70 and wanted to put '67 latches on them (for my '67) but the shaft that the latch slides on is not the right length. I'm gonna either have to rebuild by '67's or see if I can use that part from the '67 on the '70 wings.
