Has anyone on here got any spare targa catch receptacles available/for sale as per the below picture.
I need 5 asap but 1 alone would help complete a car set of catches.
Thanks in advance

Didn't get to the AGM but what's happened to the potential project for the club to have these remade? It might solve problems for both manufacturers?

What happened was that Treasurer Mark was dealing with an outfit somewhere near him that were looking at giving him a price for having them made. But we know what happened to Mark, and I know I said I'd follow it up, but we've had bigger fish to fry trying to sort the club's bank and PayPal accounts....almost there now. If it hadn't been for the efforts of Mark's brother Paul, and Ian Ford, lately a regular of this 'ere collective, we'd have been well and truly stuffed.
I did actually send the outfit a message via their website but got nothing back. But that's not unusual, as I've had that happen several times in the past when using "contact us" pages. I'll have to try and send them a mail direct to them instead, or even, heaven forbid, give them a call....assuming I can find their details again....

I am working on a back up plan for the future but I need some more urgently than that. I had to borrow a couple from Ducatiman the other week to fill the shortfall. Thanks Andy!

Thanks for the offer but I need some to use on a longer term basis.
I already have loaners fitted where required for now but they can't go out on the cars.

Sounds like this is getting urgent. I had a dig around last night and found the name of the outfit that Mark had been speaking with - it's E&A Tooling. I'll give them a call next week and see what gives.

Quite a few came from Ireland and America!


I asked friends to keep a look a out around and about for me when I knew I was starting the build and well...........they over supplied :)

So I decided to refurb them all.Just waiting for the silver bits to come back from painting and having some springs made.

Could they be 3-D printed?

Very easily if you had an accurate model of them. Could probably get it scanned.

You can print in steel and aluminium but some of the engineering polymers would probably be strong enough.

I have modelled in CAD with a view to getting a quote for machining a batch.
