What are these things called....

[Nick Stone]

Might as well make my first post a simple one...haha



I have an older rack that takes the little clip on bolt/tab vs the threaded rack rails my other cases have. What are these little clips called?





Thanks

Thanks guys, I have been scrounging around and finally used up the last few in the tool box. Time to get some more.

If it's just the thin metal clip that the screw threads into it's called a Tinnerman clip.

Are they still available? I could use a few myself

Funny how many places you can find them when you know the name of the product. Looks as if they are very available. I think i will hit the Fastenal store down the road before i order online.

Yes, Fastenal or McMaster Carr are two nationwide industrial suppliers. McMaster is particularly good if you need things shipped-very easy online ordering.



Best regards,

If you're looking for the one which slips over a thin perforated rail you could contact Gator cases. I hate their system, but they sell the parts if those are the ones you need.
