The L brackets are the interior latches that lock the hatch closed from the inside of the tank.

Scroll a 1/3rd of the way down and you will see the open driver's hatch. https://spprojectblog.wordpress.com/...nside-a-t3485/

Cool, that means I don't need them.

I'm debating if I want to go to the trouble of replacing the plastic hatch with this metal one. It will take a good bit of fill to fill in the sunk-in top of the hatch.

Ah, I see - these are "dogs" to secure the hatch!
