trunk latch--how does it work?
trying to restore 1946 Singer and puzzLED by the trunk latch mechanism. It has a square piece to insert something to turn it to latch it but I see only a round cover on the photos of similar Singers. Does it have a handle to turn ???HELP!

Yes it has a t-handle. You insert the t-handle and turn it it’s the same t-handle that unlocks the hood/bonnet to get to the engine on the 4ADs

Called a budget lock I believe

The round spring loaded covers for budget locks are often available from engineering supply shops that sell the budget locks -at least this has been my experience in Australia.
