    Anyone know a source for just the screw in latch posts that come with the aftermaket aka street rod bear claw latches?

    I have only found complete kits using Google with every possible keyword option I could come up with. I did find some info that these thing were originally used in motor homes.

    Mine are late 90s vintage best I can tell and use the T55 style allen heads.

    thanks

    Actually, I think they were originally used on tractors....I have seen stainless ones - I think Stainless Specialties, but try some of the other stainless fastener/street rod parts places also.

    Thanks for all the info.
    It definitely helps to know the name of what you are looking for !

    I found the mother of all web sites for striker bolts and
    believe I have early Ford Bronco/MKII type based on the T style allen head
    but mine appear to bemissing the plastic bushings which hopefully accounts for a loose fit.

    Looks like they map to Dorman part #38421 and probably avail at NAPA or Advance and I will check them out first.

    The stainless ones do look nice though but can be pricey depending on where you buy.
