I can't seem to track these latches down at this point...anyone have a working link for these?
This site does not indicate any prices. Do you know what they sell for?I bought mine from Southco latches.

They are also for sale on ebay and other places.
I found mine here. You can get as many as you need with the same key, needed for more than one bike, still have one key

I recently replaced the inner pannier on the right side and I was looking at the old one today. Even off the bike, you would have a dickens of a time fitting a backing plate to the inside of the inner panner where the hasp should go. There is only about 3/8" to 1/2" clearance and my fat fingers won't fit in there. The inner pannier material is much thicker than the pannier lid so if you sized the pop rivet grip range properly it wouldn't put too much stress on the inner pannier..... I think! If there is no need for the backing plate then you could pop rivet the hasp on without removing the inner pannier... piece of cake!Mike, I'm guessing that there is a backing plate -- Doug told me that the guy who installed the latches for him removed the inner pannier to install the piece on the inside.
As Phil says below, the was a plate installed on the back as well.Doug, when you installed your Franzens, the pic showed an aluminum strip as a stress relief for the pop rivets in the pannier lid. Was there any stress relief strips used on the back side of the pannier housing where the latch mechanism is pop riveted? If there wasn't then the pannier housing needn't be removed from the bike for the installation, correct?
