Hi James, I still have them. It looks like $8 will do it. Can you use Cash App or PayPal? I need your full name and address please. A phone number or email address are optional. John

Here is the latch plate that screws to the bottom of the hull, the brass screw, and bolt/wing nut between the hull plate and spring/deck plate. They are from a 1967 wooden sunfish. Note that the bolt is slightly bent. I finally found these in my garage :) Long story! Unfortunately, I no longer...

And finally, a few pics of Liz sailing last September. She says it felt like it did when she was a kid. Totally worth it! I didn't get to do the deck. That will be for the next owner. Unfortunately, we're moving off of the lake. I'll post for sale photos in that section of the forum.
