Hi Brad; the reason you are unable to find a replacement trigger latch/repair kit for your Shelby 5101 is because they went out of business years ago. Replacement parts like the one you're looking for haven't been available for a long time. The best solution is to replace the entire coupler. The most common replacement for the Shelby 5101 is the # CA5100B (black) or # CA-5100-Z (zinc finish).
