John
Someone posted an idea for this awhile back that seemed to work pretty good.
It involved making some plastic washers to push on to the Duzs fasteners.
Get a plastic milk carton or similar. I used some oil bottles. Find a piece
of tubing around 3/4 diameter. I had a piece of copper laying around. It
worked but had to be dressed up every 3 or 4 punches. I used the belt sander
to sharpen the end, then punched out several disks of the plastic bottle.
Find a piece of steel at least 1/8" thick that you can drill a 1/4" hole
into. Center the disk over the hole and use a 1/4" drift punch to punch the
center hole into the disk. Or just use a paper punch. They will be a bit
tight to install, but you won't have to worry about them falling out
anymore.

HI john,
This was asked in an earlyer post and I answered with what I did. You can use Dzus clips from ACS, but if the holes are a little large they will not work. I made my holes a little bigger and used a small "O" ring in the groove of the Dzus fastener. It has been working great for 2 1/2 years and over 300 Hrs.

John,
The parts you need are called Type GP thermoplastic half grommets.
Available at Aircraft Spruce as GP-4B for .25 diameter Dzus studs or
GP-5B for .31 diameter Dzus Studs
and they are all of 13 cents for the 4B and 6 cents for the 5B. I
understand that milk carton cutouts would do the same
thing, but these probably look better and don't cost much.

hi list
i am completing the wing baggage doors, and the Zues
fasteners i have with the kit do not seem to have a
washer or something to keep the screw on after you
open the door. i seem to remember on the planes i
flew in the marine corp, that the fasteners could be
unscrewd, and would stay on. is there a rubber washer
or some other devise that would keep them attached to
the door or is there a better way to secure the doors
without the likelyhood of losing one or more of the
screws every time i open the door.
