Source for dash panel 1/4 turn fasteners?

[Kaiserjeeps]

I have been searching but can't find the answer. I have a friend who is converting a duece dash into a custom CJ-6 he is building. He is missing some of the 1/4 turn dash panel clips. I just pulled my truck apart to paint the interior and found I need one too.
Is there a source for these. I have been searching but I am not sure what to even call them.

I don't have my truck yet to verify this but they look like an aviation fastener. You might try searching DZUS 1/4 turn fasteners online. I am sure someone will be around shortly who probably has some, or knows where to get them cheaper that I do.

They are called Dzus (pronounced zoose) fasteners. Google and you shall find.

McMaster-Carr or Aircraft Spruce and Specialty should have them.

I have some of the 1/4 turn studs that go in the inst. panel , not the spring clip that goes in the dash.

 

[Kaiserjeeps]

Ha ha, I was searching with zuess as in Dr zuess.

I couldn't think of a better way to misspell it.

DZUS Check with your local hotrod shop or racetrack. Also a commercial nuts & bolts supplier.

Mcmaster and fastenal don't seem to have them, and a search for dzus brought up similar stuff, but not the exact clips. Any ideas?

Excellent! I'll give them a try. The first and most important part was what they were and how to spell it.

I used to really like Tacoma screw products on Leary way when I lived in Seattle 20 years ago.
I had no idea they had a store here in PDX. Cool!

I'll post my findings with part numbers if I am successful.

Theres a place down here in SoCal called G&J Aircraft, its a airplain scrapyard don't know if they are on line or if they have them.

 

[Kaiserjeeps]

I was just told VPW and Jegs, summit had them. Thought I would add it for some one elses search results later.

 

[Kaiserjeeps]

Just an update.. I found the screw posts at Adirondack. They don't have the clip the screw post locks into but the do have the screw post. I'll keep looking for the clips.

 

[Kaiserjeeps]

Saturn Surplus has the correct clips but no posts. 4 bucks a piece.
VPW has a retro fit fastener that works fine but uses a slightly different clip. 10 bucks a piece.

Carry on....

 

[Lex_Ordo]

Has anyone found the actual military part number and a source for the correct post and clips?
The clips are secured to the dash wall itself, but the more important piece is the screw post used to secure the guage panel to the dash wall.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

IPS ( Intergrated Parts Systems) has them. I just purchased 4 a couple of weeks ago.

Try this link. I just ordered some.

Integrated Parts Systems - 7533778 - Turn Lock (Instrument Panel Clips)=

 

[Lex_Ordo]

Thanks for the link.
I just spoke with them and they have none in stock. They're trying to locate more, but it seems these are a hard commodity to find.

 

[3rdmdqm]

Well I hope they had the ones I ordered in stock.
