Default Arlen Ness Saddlebag Latch Kit

I was wondering if anyone might have the Arlen Ness Saddlebag Latch Kit out there? I'd just like to know if the quality of the latches/hinges etc. are good. I know the quality of the HD set is good but the price is diabolical.

The current Arlen Ness SKU # is 03-525

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have a set of their "deep cut" series saddle bag latches and I love them. They function as good as they look. I'm on vacation or I'd take a pic for ya.

Default Latches

They work great I have them on a set of bags from a street glide. I bought them from D&D custom motorcycles in Lake Villa, IL.

Ok so I got my bags back all painted and good to go. I just started to put the latch kit hardware together and noticed that the only fasteners I have in the kit, is a small bag with four skinny bolts and four nuts and washers, four screws that look like drywall screws and one fat short button head bolt. Did you guys have to order the screws, nuts and bolts for the assembly separately from the latch cover kit, or did your kits come with everything you needed to assemble?
