Here it is! I knew I had something around someplace with this type of locking mechanism…here in the form of my old Leitz tripod leg-clamp accessory:



But what I need is something which operates on this principle, to replace a “fixed adjustment” hook and eye scenario. Here is my application...for our cute/lovable (and sometimes naughty) rescue-up, Lena:


I have crafted, from plywood, foam, and faux leather, a doggie seat, which fits into the otherwise rather uncomfortable rear seat-wells of my 944:


The doggie seat sets upon two carefully shaped plywood panels, each affixed via. existing seatbelt bolts. Currently, the seat is held down with two hook and eye locks - which to work effectively need to be adjusted exactly, but the adjustment of the whole “system” tends to deviate over time, and it would be great if I could tighten things down a bit more.

Here’s the kicker: yes, I could simply install angle brackets to make this more solid…but I like the idea of being able to quickly unclip/remove the doggie seat, thus the need for a mechanism which allows such easy removal, and also allows for some adjustment to clamping force.

At any rate…any ideas? Thanks!
