T-lock for cap #540162 12/19/04 04:39 AM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I need to replace the locks on my new-to-me Snugtop cap. I need a pair of T-locks that go on the sides of the hatch/lid. I have searched here, Google, Vivisimo and Dogpile and can only find one source for these locks. LINK None of the local cap shops carry them. They can order them, but if I'm going to do that, I might as well see what else is available. I don't need anything fancy or even specific. Just a plain t-lock. Any suggestions for places that might carry them?

Thanks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I saw a replacement T-handle/lock at a local Pep-Boys. It looked just like the one you linked to and I think it was about the same price. Don't expect to get it off of their website (Pep-Boys), their site pretty much sucks.

I needed to replace a T-handle lock on my old canopy a few years ago. I found a T-handle at the local hardware store in the garage door hardware aisle. I did have to shorten the square shaft, but it worked great and was alot cheaper than what I could find at one of the canopy shops.

Thanks for the suggestions! I saw some of the garage door handle locks at Lowes and thought about using them. But, I ended up finding a real set in the next town over. A guy had ordered them but never picked them up. I put them on today. Not bad, if I do say so myself. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
