Title: wtb some universal panel clamps...
Post by: gnateye on November 15, 2002, 12:09:07 pm
they have them at happs # 49-0059-00 but they are expensive and i dont need the hook part, just the eye part if that makes sense, i have the hook clamp part iin my cab already, but need like 6 of the eye or female end of the clamp for my switchable panels, does anyone know anywhere to get these besides happs, like ace hardware or something???


or have any lying around they would like to part with cheap???

Seems like they shouldn't be difficult to make with an angle bracket and a drill or Dremel...

Take a look at the sliding door hardware section at Home Depot or Ace... might be something there that will fit...

  The difference between Happs panel clamps and other types... is that the happs are super strong!   They use a special 'Heavy Duty' sliding compression spring mechanism.   Its simular to how a vice grip works.

  Trying to make something simular would be a major pain, and wouldnt come close to the holding power of these babies.  

  While they are expensive, they are the best... and are well worth it.

Let me know how you make out as I have the exact same issue (well almost)... I've got the clamps but not the lateches that go on the CP.

If you find a good alternative replacement let me/the group know.

I spent a good deal of time looking at every conceivable piece of hardware without luck though...  (not that it's not possible)
