Quoted from goingincirclez:

Given the load that latch is supposed to bear

The reason these games came with bolts is because the latch isn't supposed to hold the head up. It is only there to support the head while installing the bolts and even with that the head will usually stay up. Moving the latch to one side or the other is not the end of the world.

Only when it appears the obvious has been overlooked-

Quoted from pinb0t:

won't be able to support the stress.

That's why I mentioned the bolts.
