Dan: the original cobras, my kirkham, and many other replicas use a latch made in england by whom ,I don't know, but the striker piece has "Silent Travel" embossed on it. It has a cover held on by two screws that, when removed, exposes the inner workings, and would be very easy to un-jam. This latch was very common on early british cars, I remember them on my MG T series, and many others.
BDR, on the other hand, uses a latch from God only knows what ( I've been told a commercial freezer door) and modifies them to fit. They are a riveted together design not meant to be repaired. The shiny "cover" is glued over the ugly mess to dress it up.
Removing it gains you nothing. I'm going to our shop tomorrow to see if I can figure out how to open this thing and get some photos, but i'll be posting on the other thread. (or whichever one is left)
