Aircraft Spruce sells Dzus fasteners, all sizes, shapes, flavors. You'll need to determine exactly which ones you need. They are based in California, they also have a UK (and German) distributor. Their catalog isn't free, but it is HUGE and makes wonderful reading for anyone interested in machinery, not just airplanes. You can also order online, but that takes the fun out of it.Best Regards,FloridaMike1976 W2000 with autolube, still looking for the vacuum/fuel/oil plumbing diagrams.

Why not try the Dzus company? They are in Farnham, Surrey. Very helpful they are too.

Sounds to me like you're going to be spoilt for choice ;-)Sure beats "Sorry, that's unobtanium, you'll have to scrap the vehicle."Wonder how many other sources will pop up?Best Regards,FloridaMike

thanks for all the links have sent a diagram of fastener to LAS aerospace await reply, norton motors had the other size fasteners and the housings in stock they are out of stock of the long one .I made a mistake as I took the part numbers and amounts from the commander parts book but my Krauser has 2 more long ones and not the intermediate length ones so I have 4 of those spare .will keep you informed when I have some replies dave

I managed to resurrect mine by cleaning and painting but I did investigate sources.I suspect they are made by a few companies but I found Southco:http://www.southco.com/browse/dzus-turn ... -7514.html They are D4 Dzus Standard Line 1/4 Turn Fasteners, Size 5For the Commander I found the following part numbers:Head 8off D4-AJ5-45Head 2off D4-AJ5-70Receptacle 10off D4-SL5-280 (possibly D4-SL5-305 but I don't think so)Hope this helps,
