auszookers.com :: View topic - Sierra tray gate latches+ embossed Suzuki question

early hilux's had similar latches on the well bodies.

looking at the google, i'd say most well body lux's had that style of latch.

could you cut the ZUKI bit out & centre it & then fill the gap either side?

Its a shame you are doing this now. I have the same issue with my tray, and will be making replica sides for mine in the new year. The rear panel will have a shadow boxed 'SUZUKI' cutout with LED backlighting. Hard to explain, but its the rice equivelant to embossing. :wink:

I just checked my spare tailgate. The only letter that is damaged is the 'S' :cry:

Otherwise I would have cut it out for you.

Anyone know where to get these from?
Checked locally and no one has anything similar enough to use.

They look the same as the clips that hold soft top windscreens in place,
worth looking at wrecks, see if they are.

Also, the embossed suzuki on the back gate is damaged . apart from Carry utes, is there anything else that has suzuki embossed that i could weld in. otherwise it'll just be ZUKI written on the back Edit: Found these to suit a landrover but at 55$ each, i'd need to make sure they fit http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tailgate-Lat ... 744wt_1271

I'm not the greatest welder so i'm worried about making it look worse if I try to move it... Sucks being shit at stuff like this

I just went out and had a look, the handles are a fair bit shorter on the tray* but it could work! *LJ81k tray, 1l Sierra windscreen thingys.
