    Me and Rick have been talking on the phone for a while because hes been helping me do the external wireless antenna hack so I asked him what I needed and what I needed to do for the hack. He sent me a mag-mount antenna, a u.fl to RP-SMA connector, a u.fl flag antenna, 3 wifi cards a 3com card and a daughter board. so I received the items he sent me and completed the hack in about 2 days. He asked me if there was anything I needed because he was clearing out the rest of his old cf-28 parts... What I asked him for was 3 metal latches, the latches that lock the port covers in place. He didn't have any but he said someone would send me the metal latches....
    Thanks in advance
    I will give you my address in msg

    What I sent were Panasonic original parts. You may think they look like plastic, but I have broken several and the broken ends look like metal to me. In any case I don't think there is any other kind than the ones you have now. Sorry for any disappointment . . .
