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

I don't know how to spell it but I think they're called Zuse fastners.

Like they use to hold fibreglass panels on race cars.

 

what you need is TABZ now who could manufacture such a thing? mmmmmm

 

Thats what im trying to do, they look the part

 

Could you not fit an inspection hatch?

They are 1/4 turn panel fixings ......I'll check what we have but they're from RS , I'm guessing 4 ?

 

Retro fit bonnet race clamps....job done

 

Unfortunately no, it just fouls the air filter, where as a panel gives me about an inch of clearance

 

Dzus fasteners

Ah that's a shame

 

Expensive as well, i bought a T25 hatch and surround and that wont work either

 

DZUS Fasteners will make a proper job. its the way to go.
I would use mush screw head type as it going to be under the bed mattress.

Dzus aircraft fasteners still had the own inherrent problems though and they aint cheap

And there's a pile in my garage!

 

Why not weld it up, I can't see any need for it - they obviously couldn't have used an engine crane to get it in there.
Take engine in and out like the rest of us do?

 

Ah, i knew i should of asked you first

 

I'd be inclined to pop rivet/spot weld some flanges around the underside edges of the cut-out and make the access panel a drop in...drill and tap the flanges in the corners and one or two along each edge.....countersunk stainless machine screws to hold the panel down....this way, you could seal it with foam extrusion...foam would take up any minor variations

 

You're missing the quick-release part of the spec.

 

wh

y does it need to be quick release.....it'll be covered with flooring/carpet/cushion/luggage?

 

Dont you mean Dynomat, closed cell foam, reflective insulation, plywood, carpet, cusion, luggage.......
