I welded up the batch for Ben. These are made by welding a bent piece of
1/4" steel rod to the original latch, closely duplicating what VW did.
The printed copy of the original VW/Westfalia cover is available at

I think the finish could stand some improvement, or perhaps someone would
pressure mold some of these from 3/32" ABS which would look nicer.
Here is the finished product as installed in my 1990 Multivan.
