Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas as how to repair broken latches on a Vic 20 case.
Thanks

Re: Vic 20 case latches
Do you still have the broken pieces? A couple of mine had broken off, I used epoxy glue to stick a 'C' shaped section of a hollow plastic lollipop stick over the pieces and that seems to have held well.
Alternatively you could try 3D printed tabs like these

Yep you can find also in eBay 3D printed latches which fit well. I bought some in the past, not too expensive.

Do you know anyone locally that has a 3D printer? The blueprints for the tabs should be available for download.

Hi Orion70, srowe
Thanks again for your brilliant help.
The ebay link is exactly what I am looking for.
Also, I don't know anyone local with a 3d printer.
I'm near to completely repairing my Vic20, thanks to all the great help on this forum.
