The wire link component of the toggle latch is available in either straight, flex or claw. For example, WL49 is a straight wire link measuring 49 mm. If this wire link is flexed it becomes a WLF of 42 mm and if it is made into a claw it becomes a WLC of 28 mm. 

Non standard wire links can be produced to fit our standard base-lever assembly to custom fit your application. Minimum quantities of 1000 apply.
