The TT 'locking mechanism' is so weak a wee screw driver can pop it open-
I removed the OE and replaced them with steel ones as well as seriously toughened the mountings
I also fitted lid retainers as well as placed steel bridging parts inside to brace & reinforce the ali where those huge locking rings are.
All done before my trip to Africa- took numerous tumbles in the sand and the cases all held good- needed a wee bit of bashing but all good-
Forewarned is forarmed- you could have saved yourself a lot of grief!
