    I have never seen that latch anywhere else. If you have one I'd take a picture of it and send to Midwest Bayless Italian Auto and see if they recognize it. They are a good Fiat parts supplier and may be of help. Could be a garage cabinet door latch for all we know.

    Good luck.

    There are some on the web, a lil different but it should work as an alternative.
    They go by "compression" or "trigger" latches. Hartwell made them but hard to find. Eberhard still makes them but slightly different.

    I would share some pics but it wont let me upload them.
