Camloc fasteners

[Pete Masterson]

Aircraft Spruce <http://www.aircraftspruce.com> sells Camloc fasteners like those used on the front panel. There's a number (you'll need a magnifying glass) on the head of the fastener that tells you the size -- but check against the measurements as the number is very hard to read (at least it was on my fasteners).

You need a special tool to install them -- but if you're clever and have 3 hands you can do it without the tool. (I was only replacing one that I had broken, so I didn't get the tool.) If you wish to replace more than one or two, the tool is well worth having.

I don't recall the camlocs as being all that expensive. I bought 2 or 3 "just in case" because the shipping was more than the fastener. Not _all_ aircraft parts are expensive.

Greetings to all.  I would like to replace the fasteners that hold the electrical panel outside the front  of the bus. Does anyone have any sources for these.   Also, If you  have the size of the fastener it would be very helpful.

I’m hoping to stay away from aviation sources because they can get costly for “screws”

Thank you.
