Kaymar or Opposite Lock

Post by Grasshopper »

I am building a rear bar for a HZJ105 landcruiser and I am after the locking mechanism that Kaymar or Opposite Lock use on theirs. Kaymar will not sell you one and Op Lock want $150 for theirs. Any ideas where to locate one or does anyone have a damaged one laying around.

I have just learnt how annoying Kaymar can be regarding selling their latches as a separate item... cost is $130 once you produce evidence of a damaged latch requiring replacement. How Australian...

Anyway, I know there is a lot of interest here regarding similar style latches and found Concept Latches on this forum. After speaking with them I have been informed that they have to buy in 10 from the US and would sell to us at $67 plus postage for the smaller item or $120 for the larger (who really needs 8000lb of rated latch???).

I want one not ten. So if there is enough interest I am hoping they can buy in ten or so and people building their own rear bars/carriers can shun Kaymar and buy directly through the guy I spoke to down there...

Let me know yuor thoughts please.

I've found most of the australian retail 4wd industry to be total utter bastards.... most are overpriced, most have bad attitudes, and almost all of them have no sense of time or reliability... Its no wonder most people's first thoughts are to go offshore...

I source latches like these from U.E.S. (Universal Engineer's Supplies)

Have just about all of them on display in their outlets.
