Door strut catches

Post by 8434 »

Hi,

I'm looking to replace the catches that hold the door open against the strut as mine are all bashed out. From my research the two parts I need are:
C1663-022-3B - Ball Stud Receiver
P101-499-3B - Ball Stud
The problem is no one will sell me two of each. Its either 200 or nothing.

Does anyone have a few kicking around? Or, anyone what to split a batch of 200?
Here's what im looking for:

What about the male portion which bolts to the strut? I need those also if anyonine has a set. If this is something we need to make anyone have any guidance or a drawing?

Well, between George, Jeff and me, I expect we have enough catches to re-equip the entire fleet...
