Eyesore, Rod and Custom did an article recently on bear claw latch's with a 54 Chevy. Install should be similar on most vehicles. Google Install bear claw latch, Rod and Custom. Should be able to find it. Sniper

I've installed them in a 34 glass roadster before and a 55 Chevy truckI don't have any pics but they ARE simple to install. Just make sure the main latch assembly is mounted good and solid and square to the latch pin and when you drill for the latch pin you slot the hole out vertically so you have a little bit of adjustment!
