[MRCA] SCR-178 Needs

Lenox,

No.  They are cast brass and pretty large.  They are the swinging lever type, 
for lack of a better description.  Used on the later model CH-57's and 
probably elsewhere.

However, if you have an excess of the wire bale type latch of the size used 
on the Jeep Sets, with the J-hook, I get requests for those frequently.  Many 
were replaced by the coil spring type after the War and people are always 
wanting to restore the sets to period correct.
