Alex, Langs had a set on here last week.

The set Lang's had listed has been spoken for. Here is the link, there are photos in it just in case someone is not sure what they look like:

I had wanted a set years ago. Being uncommon to find & expensive when found, I figured I could make a set.
A fellow loaned me one of each part. They are not difficult to make or have made.
The studs were made from long allen bolts. & the nuts from coupling nuts. The stud locks were made from recycled axle shafts.

Thanks for the comments and advice so far much appreciated

If I may ask, what is the attraction for them in today's world?

I will confess that like you I wanted a set and finally found the bolts and the nuts, but had to make the keepers. Now that I have them, I rarely use them. With the modern age of cordless impact guns, I can install a set of caps quicker using the gun than I can using the Kwik Bolts.

They are real handy for timesavering mains.

I guess I am naive. In what way? I burnish bearings on the lathe using stock bolts, nuts, and a cordless impact. They are just as fast for me. What am I missing??

BTW, he is a video of me burnishing in Model-A bearings, but I do it the same way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHRmJyq6JFY

Burnishing is different than timesavering. Timesavering involves a lot of cap removal to keep the babbit well lubed. Instead of completely removing the nuts, only a 1/4 turn is needed. Saves some time. I dont use a lathe. I turn the crank with a hand wheel. Your way is easier on the hands.
& besides, I'm a tool junkey.
