Overcentre Catch - a spring-loaded toggle latch used to secure hinged covers, lids and access panels.

When the lever is thrown past its centre point, the linkage draws the panel tight and holds it under tension. This over-centre action resists vibration loosening and keeps the closure rattle-free in service.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Overcentre Catch (MRC8388) and what does it do?

The Overcentre Catch is a spring-loaded toggle latch that secures hinged covers and access panels. Throwing the lever past its centre point draws the panel tight and holds it under tension, which resists vibration loosening and keeps the closure rattle-free in service.

Where is this catch used on a Land Rover?

On the Land Rover Defender (up to 2016) MRC8388 is used as the seat base catch. On the Discovery 1 (1989-1998) it serves as the air cleaner catch on diesel engines. It's the same over-centre latch used in two different applications.

How do I confirm this catch fits my Discovery 1?

For the Discovery 1 (1989-1998), MRC8388 fits diesel-engine air cleaner applications up to VIN (V)LA081991 only. Later Discovery 1 builds differ, so check your chassis number against that VIN break before ordering.
