Body panel fasteners
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:55 pm
Hi everyone.
As I head out to the storage unit where the Triking is buried in all our household stuff including the new kitchen, its -11 so I am limited in how much I can do to the Triking or any of the other jobs waiting for me.
I finally took the back off so that I could sort out the battery and the handbrake having carefully unscrewed the 4 nuts behind the seat. I have been warned about not over-tightening them when I put the back on again as it might tear out the bolts.
This being the case I am wondering if other people have used alternate fastenings such as Canloc, Dzus, Moroso or even fancy types like the Pitking push button releases.
I had them on the Caterham together with over-centre latches. Its hard to see from pictures but most show clean panels without obvious fasteners.
The list gets ever longer but it is a great winter activity and is certainly more fun than the daily challenges of the ongoing housebuild.
Stay safe, Simon
