Bear Claws Latches?
Where is a good place to buy bear claws at? Besides Autoloc brand (long story)
And would I have to buy the install kit too?
And is anyone using the power bear claws latches? What do you think of them?
Thanks everyone

If there isn't room you can easily remove the bracket from the latch and mount it elsewhere in the door and operate it with a cable or rod. I would suggest that you also buy a kit with a manual release cable or rig one up yourself just in case you're stuck sometime with a dead battery.
Good luck.....

Thanks Randy
I wasnt planning on using an actuator, still in the air, I just noticedthe bearclaws with them built in an thought about just using a remote buttom like up under the bed or something...My plan was just to use manual cables with the stock inside handle, and a remote cable/rod on the outside...Heck I dont even know if Im shaving the door handles...
My biggest thing is I really want to upgrade to the bear claws, I dont have alot of trust in the factory latches...
Thanks for all your help

I wanted to complain about this NZ slang business, but I see it was resolved before it mattered. LOL..
