They are called quick pins. Yeah..mostly military stuff. The military is the best quality. However...Moroso makes them and lot's of chassis builders carry them. Also sometimes you find them on Ebay.
Need to know diameter and the length you need and I will see what I can dig up on the web.

Good quality.
Several materials to choose from.

No, but I applaud your effort in drawing a picture rather than taking one. :)

I've seen them at the local Lowe's in the fastner/nuts & bolts section.

As I recall, we called them "pip" pins. Bitchen t handle, with a push button to release the ball holding it in the hole. I'm not sure of todays NHRA rules, but the funnies of old had 2 of those from the frame to the rear motor plate, and hose clamps up front to the frame, around the front motor plate.....Thats all that held the motors IN..............MP
