Battery Cover Fastener

[RunnerDuck]

Does anyone know what these fasteners are called or where I might get four of them? They are for holding down the battery cover on my S1.

Thanks,

Ken

Sorry you haven't had a reply to your question. I do not know what they are called. Perhaps someone will help you.

Have you looked in the WSMs ?

WSM?

Perhaps someone has a complete S1 battery cover they'd like to sell.

Thanks,

Ken

WSM is the Work Shop Manual.

It is available for all of our Sunbeams here on the SAOCA

I don't know what was supplied to the early cars, and I couldn't find a specific listing or picture of the fastener, but This may refer to it:



On the Series V, in the factory parts book they are called a 'lid fastener', part number 9127004. However, in racing we used to use a similar device to hold on the quickly-removable panels, and it was called a Dzus Fastener. Perhaps what you have is the same? You could Google DZUS FASTENER and see if you can find something similar.

I believe it's called Dzuits fastener. Same as used on the Tiger trunk floor corners. You may be able to get them from Sunbeam Specialties.

Thanks Junkman, I spoke with Rick and he suggested Dzuits fasteners as well. I guess I'll look into them further. Thanks for the tip.

FWIW, it is a Dzus fastener.

Yep… see my post earlier in this thread.

Thanks all, I guess I have enough to figure it out. As always a great group!

McMaster-Carr has them as "quarter-turn fasteners" https://www.mcmaster.com/products/quarter-turn-fasteners/?SrchEntryWebPart_InpBox=dzus+fastener

Thanks.

Note that Plate D Section YX shown is for Series III and on. Parts 210/211 are not the same as part 173 shown on Plate D Section YV that is shown for Series I and II only. The replacement shown from McMaster-Carr could be retrofitted for Series I and II, but they are not the same.
