I believe I have found a source for brand new, replacement T-Top locks. These are keyed alike, chrome locks that will fit and function just like the originals. Is there any interest if the price is right, say around $40/pair (matching keys!) - just like they used to be??

I need a set.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. Since it's in english, thank a soldier.

I am also interested. Let us know the details when you can.

Count me in.

They're not stolen if that's what you're asking!

Okay, response is favorable, so let me get a few sets in. (And did I mention I take PayPal? )

I'd be interested in at least 1
pair,

To answer some questions that you all may have:

Shipping to me: Usually about 10 days after order is placed
Shipping to you: 2 day USPS Priority ($3.85 with signature confirmation) & FedEx overnight if you really got to have them "now" (priced accordingly) in the lower 48 states
Next order: Within 30 days

NO PRE-PAYING PLEASE! I would rather put up the money out of my own pocket than take yours and face any unforseen delays. This way no one is out any cash (except me) until you actually order. That's about as fair as I can make it.

I wish i had a t-top so i could buy some.

I'll take 2 sets!

I checked in to ask for your PayPal info Let me know when you need the money.

Just overhauled my lock cylinders in mine, but then ...
Girls like shiny things + yours are Chrome = put me down for a set

Change my "I'm interested" to I WANT! :-)
Please let me know when you are ready to accept payment.

Thanks, Steve

Thanks everyone for the great response!! Your names have been recorded and I will notify you once the locks are here and ready to ship.

(If you're dying to PayPal me in advance - as some people apparently are - (thank you for your confidence/trust!) PM or email me and we'll see if we can't work something out. )

id be interested if you make a second run....

Actually I can include you in the initial run if you'd like. I am going to order 30 sets (enough to do 15 cars) so I will have a few spares.

UPDATE: I installed the trial set in MsBeth's car tonight and they fit wonderfully! Due to the enormous popularity of these locks, I am going to take pre-orders. The initial order will still be a few weeks out as I build up the reserve cash (I'm tapped from traveling). PM or email me if you wish to pre-order.

*bump*

(Order is going in VERY soon, so if anyone else wants to jump in let me know!)

Ah what the heck Im in.

30 sets (2 needed per car) have just been ordered. I forgot to mention that you get *4* new keys with these new locks.

Due to popular request/demand, I have set up a store front for those that wanted to pre-order the locks:

Thanks for the order - they will ship as soon as they arrive here. (I'm watching the mailbox now.) As for the shirts, I'll send you a PM.

Locks are in! Those that pre-paid will have theirs shipped tomorrow USPS Priority Mail. For everyone else that wanted a set, head over to http://www.boomtastic.com/store and order up - I've got plenty!!

If you ccan tell me how to get my pass side t-top off without the keys, i might be interested in a set, lol. Fortunately the last owner had the drivers side unlocked when they lost the keys. Otherwise I would just have a very expensive moon roof

You'll have to look at the way the cylinder is positioned. If you look at the base of the lock - where the mounting flange is - and can see a flat, recessed rectangular piece then you are in luck. This is the release clip for the spring loaded center cylinder. Press this rectangular clip in and the lock should pop right open. If you look into the T-top and only see the "T" shaped slider area (and/or cannot reach/see the other side of the lock cylinder) then you can either see a locksmith for a key, or think about drilling the center of the lock out if you are VERY careful.

To everyone that said they wanted a set of locks but have not bought them - I am putting them on eBay because I need to sell them!! So if you want them, buy now from my store or fight on eBay for them later ...

Did the 10% rule apply to you too? Anytime I offer to reproduce or manufacture a part, and say 100 fiero folks tell me they'll buy, only 10 will actually buy.

You are right on the money Doug. I have sold about 5 out of the 15 sets that were pre-ordered. Eventually they will sell - that I am sure of, but in the meantime I have tied up my cash on promises.
