Hi all
So as the title suggests I’ve got a broken latch on the centre console. I’d rather not buy an entire unit... and it just so happens a neighbour has just invested a grant in a 3D printer.

to that end could anyone with a working latch send me a dimensioned sketch/ photo of the latch profile ie the shark tooth looking bit... as I think I have an idea how to make a unit which will clad and bond the the stub that’s left behind etc.

massively appreciate if someone could help... and if it works I’ll get a few made if anyone has a similar problem

Forget that... way too complicated. Merc basically made the catch module unserviceable. New unit...
