Was able to modify the new clasps to work with the original hinges as hoped.
Had to kick the edge over so they drop down the sides a bit.
Latch should load up nice and taut now! Specially once I add the gasket underneath.

May end up spot welding these on since they are pretty close to the edge of the lids.
Everything will be painted to match the car anyway.
Another of those last steps done.
Sort of leaning to painting the firewall off chassis as I get closer to the decision.. may be easier to get into the corners of the car with it not in the way.
Originally it was in place for the paint job, but so what..
hehe
