Robin D Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I'm hoping the combined knowledge of blue room will do better than Google. I need to get some clips are a bit like a pin with a flat middle section that goes through a round hole in a panel. The flat piece then pivots up, then drops into the lock position to hold panel in place. I always knew them as torpedo clips, but Google fails to find the same and Flints appear not to do them. They are often fitted to open trucks and trailers; the hinged side goes up, over them, the the clip holds them in place. Anyone know what they are called please? I need them for a piece of flown set that needs a thin ply overlay added over the front during the show and then flown away. These are quick and secure and safe for the cast to do. Velcro would hold it, but I'd rather have a more positive fixing if its then going up to the fly. Thanks in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I have always known that as an "Anti-loose latch". That name seems to give results on google. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyld Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Had no idea what they were called. "Them things you get on trailers" was what I think when I see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Tom. We are 9 miles west of Ipswich. Did you mean the place on the way into Framlingham? Loads of them on Google and FleaBay now I know the search term! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
