I am looking to source two of the clips for the door hinges on a Polaris Gem e2. They look like this…

![RtEuOwEbsrKBXIu0](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/b/bf024f711dfd65e9165fd270b214bc4ecc18f451.jpeg)

I believe that they are known as “Ball Joint Quick Disconnect” and I think the part number is 7061184.

Can anyone suggest how I might obtain two of these?

Thanks,  
Richard

Wow! That is a fantastic find. Many thanks. It’s got to be worth a try.  
Maybe AI isn’t all bad after all. 😉

Thanks again,  
Richard

Funny you mention that because TensorFlow was one of the first quite capable LLM AI’s to be open sourced and it became quite popular. I think it has history in image search at google. I find gImage Search quite useful for these odd parts and sometimes just finding out an industry naming of a part then gets me to the actual part via a more refined search.

If you can figure out what thread you are working with maybe one of these will work?

Not just that. My concern is the size of the ball that they are intended to work with. I can’t find that information.

Did you have any luck? I also need a couple of these quick release connectors for my soft doors. Thank you in advance for any help

</div>

short answer - yes

i was buying in the uk and used this site

> **[Q Series | Online Bearings](https://onlinebearings.co.uk/product-category/bearings/ball-joints/q-series/)**

but i can’t remember which one it was. i think it was one of the QI (imperial) ones but you could check if you measure the one you have.  
i suspect it might be a widely available part if you search for “quick release ball joint”.

hope that helps,
