T TOP latch strikers

I got a machinist that I am working with to make the T TOP latches that the pins go into on the tops and mine are worn and cracked so I contacted this machinist to help improve the design and make them out of aluminum. I gain nothing from this just trying to help the collective currently the pieces are 16.30 a piece and that is if we have 20 or more and each car needs 4 so I will get a set and if I can get 4 or more interested the most you have to pay me is for shipping and the price of the part. if we have enough that is the price if he has to break from the run of parts 20 or less the price goes up. But if we get 20 or more the price is 16.30 for a machined piece that never will wear in your life time and the suns UVs wont harm it. if you are interested email @ openbolt1921@gmail.com with the subject of T TOP OWNERS and make sure you leave enough info so I can get a hold of you if you are wanting the parts
