I made a new bracket. It's pretty much what you would use for a link tab with the same type of bushing.

I ahve a 97 laredo with the 5.2L and stock alarm. when I took my doors off today my alarm started going off about 2min after I took the door off. I unplugged the harnes at the front of the door and then disconnected my dome light switch I put the positive back on my battery and still the same thing, what can I do?

Why'd you even bother locking the doors? No locked doors = no alarm.

I pulled latches out of an old XJ at the boneyard and used 2" angle iron to create a bracket for it. Capped off the top and bottom of the angle so that I could run the pipe down/up to it.

I'll try to get some better pics of it when I get them painted.
