What is this fastener, where can I get more?

[Dick in Wisconsin]

This fastener is on the ramp door of my enclosed car hauler. Its used to hold the bolts that hold the ramp door handles to the outside of the trailer. The fasteners are on the inside of the trailer.

They appear to be some kind of blind nut with a long thread and are held by a large Torx wrench during tightening.

Sorry the picture isn't very good. They are pretty big.

I've Googled and Googled and haven't found anything close.

OK, I get it, they are two piece, not what I thought, can you pull one out?

I'm reluctant to. I might have too.

Are you asking what type of head the fastener in the picture is? That's tamper proof torx. If you're referring to the other side a photo would help

From the description, I'd say a *** bolt with a torx security head to me
