You might see if you can get information from Marvin at modelmotorcars .com. They say their latches (apparently non-working) are to scale. Click on Home.

I have written to Marvin, but no reply, not about the hoodlatch, but I want to buy some of that flextubing from the spotlight, I dont know why he do not answer my mails.
I'm also looking for a chain to my Bugatti front brakes.

Marvin was out of the office (and country) for a while on vacation and is digging out from a mountain of emails and back orders. He's very good about returning calls and emails so give him a little time to get back into the swing of things and he'll be in touch.

I found some chain for my 1/16 Bugatti T59 [side-mounted brake system] that might work for you.

Width is 1/8"

Thanks Andym and Sjordan.
That chain could be used, but don't looks right and I think it's to big, I surpose delrin is somekind of plastic,
I wrote to Termonia and suggested a photoetch chain to the Bugatti, if someone ¨nerdig¨ like me want to go over the top in detailing.
Where else is there chains on the bugatti brakes ?

Here's what the chain looks like from the side. Seems pretty accurate to me, though I don't know about the size you need. Yes, it's a sort of plastic material.

If you find something better or smaller, please let me know.

PS – I took a look at your gallery and you do beautiful work, Egon.

Thank you Sjordan,
The RR K72 I bilding now started when I found John Haddocks drawings and from there we have been in contact since, exchanging idears and photos of our RRs.
This RR is going ¨mindblowing¨ in details, the same is Johns new project.
I let you have a small peak, The ashtray.

From a 1929 model in a museum I was given these messurments, I don't remember the shape of the locks, square or round.

Your picture seems to match a 30s Phantom II image in my archives.

Frank Dale & Stepsons in London have these messurements.
