Thanks for the input guys. I am curious how the manufcaturers or distributors of these latches direct you for chosing the correct latch size. In other words, is there a certain rule that tells you whether you need a medium latch versus a mini-latch?

Also, I see a few manufacturers of these. Do you have any recommentations?

Lastly, what do you see as a common installation time for a bear claw installed as a replacement for the stock latch? I would still be using the outside handle. As I understand it, there is some welding involved.

Thanks much.
