Hi guys,

I have managed to source real 767 200 panels. Part of what I have got is the aft pedastel mount and the overhead panel mount. Both Compleat with dzus Rails. PC at FDS has told me the FDS panels will fit these rails Does anyone know here I can source real nuts/screws or what ever is used in the real thing.

Regards
James

Hey they are there and someone may know a good source but I think if you do a search on Ebay for them you might find what you are looking for. I know I saw some on there a while ago with crimper so look around. Also know that this option will not be cheap!

Nothing in this hobby/obsession is cheap, so my wife keeps telling me. Having got real parts I dont want to degrade the look with ordinary M3 bolts.

Thanks Bob Ill have a peek.

Regards

Hi guys,

Does anybody know what the actual Boeing fasteners are called. There are loads of dzus stuff on ebay and I dont know which ones I need? I havent recieved my 762 parts yet so cant get an idea of what I need.

I don't think that is the entire fastener. Looks like the "sleeve" is missing.

Is that like a small round thingy that the fastener goes through?

I used to work on DC-9's and all the panels in the cockpit were usually quarter-turn fasteners we called CamLoc's. They resembeled the picture below. Here's one place I saw I think you can buy them:
