I have been going thru my parts which I have collected for my build. I noticed that the clamshell latches which I bought seem to have a much larger base which fasten to the car than the originals had. Can anyone tell me if I have the wrong style or am I supposed to cut them down? This is not my car but I have the same latches. Click image for larger version.
