Default Rear Hatch Hood Style Latches?

Anyone know where to source latchs for the rear hatch, that almot look like Wrangler hood latches. Can't post of picture due to work computer, but I have seen these a few times on track cars. They attach to the wing, and then to the body. Any leads would be great,

Yes Van, they look very similiar to the Rubber Pull Handle Draw Latches.

I didn't even think to look at McMaster, and I use them everyday haha! Guess you don't need to pay twice as much from a racing outfitter.

The ones through Grainger, and I assume like the ones you got from amazon, attach by just screws. How did you securly fasten it to the spoiler? And did you remove your latch mechanism.

That is my overall goal, to remove the latch mechanism with the lock. Will be a DE car, have no need for it. For those who have done it, have you run just those and removed the latch?
