Suggestions needed for a quick release way of "bolting" a panel down

Im looking to fix down a VW corrugated floor type panel as a hatch but i want a quick way of opening it, something better than self tappers, what type of fixings should i be searching for?

 

metal press studs? like what hold the curtains back in a westy? is this panel under load or just for access?

 

Rivets with a rivet gun? Or rivnuts? Or a wild card option you could use heavy duty magnets to keep it in place then prize it open when needed?

 

Its just for access but it needs to seal air tight - ish, its above the engine

 

Fuel sender accesss?

 

velcro tape?

 

If it doesn't matter if the clips are raised by 10mm then could you use these

Size of it i would probably never get it open, that stuff can be tough

 

Close but a bit bigger, there was a hole there but i riveted that panel in place, this is where they cut the floor about to get the engine in, i cant fit a proper hatch as it fouls the air filter

 

quick release fastners? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D-Type-Qu...rs-14mm-Long-10-Pack-with-Clips-/141122495758
or similar?

 

Can you post some pics?

 

^this. Your tank compartment doesn't need to be airtight.

 

They look more like it, ta

 

put a rubber seal around the edge perimeter then use some fold over metal tabs

 

You can get proper panel fasteners , we use them at work and I used one on my fuel sender ,....I'll find a pic

 

bit out of date, but it shows what they cut out

 

I intend fitting a seal of some sort to try and keep any fumes out

You should be completely fumeless, m'boy. If you're fuming, need to find out why.
