    Do you have a part number? It will be much easier to find with one.

  • Have you tried the boneyards like Wentworth? Also, you should get yourself a parts manual if you don't have one. You can get one here: www.eflightmanuals.com

    The cowling latches for my PA-28-161 were made by SouthCo. You can get individual parts for these from HiTech Fasteners who is a dealer for SouthCo.
