Help identify these 356 items

[pjv911]

I have a few leftover items from a 1963 coupe restoration and figured to list this stuff on ebay to get rid of them. Can anyone identify these latches. Front, rear. upper, lower?

Front and rear hood release latches. Looks like part of a window winder I'm not sure about the first pic. It looks familiar though it could be part of the door release mechanism.

Ive found out that the 2nd one down is a inner door release. On the ones you identified which is which and which is the mate. Ive pictured two female latches and a 2 arm looking thing. Also the yellow 90 deg tab.

I'm at work right now. I'll look tomorrow and get back with you to make sure. I think the bottom pic is the front hood release and the one up from it the rear deck release.

Hey Kurt,

Pic 1 - hand throttle
Pic 2 -you already know
Pic 3 - engine lid catch (on engine lid itself)
Pic 4 - AT2/BT5 bonnet catch (you need the pin on the bonnet for a mate)
Pic 5 - maybe T6 or C bonnet catch - can't remember offhand (I'll check though)

Cheers,

Lisa

This is a VW Beetle front hood catch. 66 and earlier.

Is it possible the same latch was used on the 356c cars? There is no reason I should have a VW latch. Thanks,

Kurt

Also used on Karmann Ghia rear engine lids in case you owned one of those.

I had the same problem with some parts I put up recently. I ended up just putting them on ebay for $3.56 ,no reserve and letting the guys who could use them decide what they were worth. I had no clue on values and didn't want to throw away something someone else might need...
