I looked at the request a sample page and they do offer them basically for the price of postage. They also want a lot of information which in my case most would be pure fabrication. Be my luck they'd check me out so will pass.

What I find aggravating in the whole thing is multiple places sell ball studs in every size and configuration yet almost no one has anything for them to fit into.

Since remembering that article from years ago saying the catches didn't last long and Brian and Randy both confirming theirs not working, my feeling is why bother doing it again. The designs of the components surely haven't changed much although maybe the material has.

Have decided to try the magnet approach since it will only require two hidden holes. Won't even have to take the seat apart. The factory method requires 3 holes plus sawing off part of the hinges. Even if magnets are not strong enough & it doesn't work, nothing much except time will be lost.
