I've seen them around but rarely. I even used them a time or 2 for mounting lexan to TJETS for a special race we help years back. Got any more or is this it ?:wave:

SethNDaddy- I have several old t-jets with those holding the lexan bodies on. They work pretty well as long as you use the right adhesive to adhere them to the painted lexan. If you use the wrong glue, it will pull off the paint if it comes undone. I used a silicone adhesive when mounting the bodies. It gives a little and it will come off before pulling the paint off.

I have even used them to replace a post in a TJet. A little carving and some jbweld and it was good to go. :) rr
