Title: dzus fasteners
Post by: steven c on November 12, 2019, 12:56:15 PM

 Would it be difficult to replace body panel screws with deus fasteners? It would so much easier then removing all the screws.

  It's not that difficult as long as you have a tab to hold the clip portion or some flat area to pop rivet the clip.

I'm rather partial to Camlocs. No special tool needed for installation (for removal you'll need a retaining ring cutter). Available in cad-plated or stainless. Also with Phillips head that makes it less likely that a slipped screw driver scratches the paint.

Get them from Aircraft Spruce:
