devilsrenegade Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 my grandkids broke one of the battery door push pin connectors to my amigo II, does anyone know where I could find a replacement one? It appears to be exactly like the one on my old whites goldmaster II. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank's to all that reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted a pic. is there a way to remove the push pins without breaking them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 They expand to lock into place once installed, but can be compressed and pushed back out. Not easy though - try the survivor of your two to see how that goes. They are called a Nylatch Panel Fastener. There are different sizes to contend with and I'm not sure which you have.

Google Search thank's a ton. I'll measure mine and match to the correct size. I had no idea where to look or what they were called. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Just measure the hole diameter and you should be able to find a close match. If not, self adhesive velcro works wonders for things like that. Good luck!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnysalami1957 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Auto Zone or any auto parts store. will have plastic panel hardware. It may not look the same but will work fine. Look in the HELP isle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can send you a complete door. I have a dead Amigo that I robbed some components from to fix another, anyway, I have a spare housing and can gladly donate the battery cover. Always good to see a Tesoro getting used by the younglings! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
