Storage doors - male side of hold open clips.

[Paul Dobbin]

In February while getting off our mountain, our coach slid off the road into a barb wire fence. Only damage was that the barbed wire took off two of my
storage door stainless steel clasps and fired them in to the pasture never to be found.
I'm looking for a source for two new ones. These are these the male ends
that lock into the female ones above the Land Yacht storage doors.
Any advice?

Maybe this??? I think the proper name of this is a "toggle latch" or "draw latch".

A photo of what you are talking about or a better description would be helpful.

I've taken a picture but I can's show it here without a http:// URL.
Photobucket is no longer free and I don't know how to get a URL address to post my picture. Suggestions?

I switched to Imgur. Very similar to Photobucket without the aggravation. Not perfect.
However, I've tried another idea with great success.
After typing your text, look at the icons above the text box.
You may have to "Go advanced" to see all. See the paperclip? It's attachments. Mine opens my downloads folder, I can select an image on the computer (without an URL) upload it, and voila' Image attached!

Like this?

Hey Paul,

Check Ace Hardware. Best to remove the clip or take a photo with you so they can try to match it. While your looking around, I need another plastic slide clip for the side entry door. Been using a bungie cord for awhile but would be nice to find replacement.

Hope your summer plans are coming together. Are you going to any Rallys or the Intl in Oregon this summer?

Here is the picture of the clip I need, just the male side.

P. S. It show ed it was attached, but disappeared again.
(I tried the suggested "Advanced" way to attach.)

Paul, if you check on the Airstream web site under parts, find the part number and call an Airstream dealer with the number. I had to replace the plastic part of the door latch, and the local Airstream dealer (Great Outdoor Mart, Greensboro NC) matched the part, and for a couple bucks I was back in business.

PN 381427 this is the part number. I'm going to attach a picture that Airstream sent me.

If you zoom into this photo you can see the male and female clips in position on the cargo doors and body above the belt line.

Mike1997,
Those are the ones, like mine! I have a closeup photo but since Photobucket went pricey I can't re-size it to post.
