Re: Bear Claw latches

Dan is right, my Father and my Uncle where riding in my dads 1957 TF
back when I was a kid he turned right at the light and my Uncle fell out of the truck door poped open. Luckly he was okay and it wasn't in rush hour so beware worn latches need to be checked!

Whose kit? How much? I might be interested though I've got to admit that Trique kit looks awfully tempting...EVEN at that price - ugh!

Re: Bear Claw latches

I got it figured out thanks a bunch for the pictures and great info.
The next project is in the works, an aluminum tonneau similar to the pros pick style. Thanks again
