Source for small Dzus fasteners
Anyone know of a source for miniature dzus fasteners.
I think I would like to use these to secure hatches on the aluminum covered portion of my 1/3 scale plane.

Prather Products used to package those, but I don't know if he is still in business.
However, you can get them from Aircraft Spruce.

The small ones work well if you make a retaining ring from the 1/4 soft copper washer from a glow plug. Also to work well, the fastener needs to engage a springy loop of wire.
