Washer fluid quick lock screw???

[Keith Knight]

Help please, I broke the little plastic piece during removal and want to find a replacement. Been searching for this little......whatever its called on the web and can't find the proper search term for it, it would be nice if Mcmaster had something close to it. What is the proper name for it? I've ran out of names to call it.

Dzus fastener?

That's the term I couldn't remember! Thank you! Did a quick search and it got me a little closer but not quite there yet.
Thank you!

In mechanical engineering, that general family of fasteners is often refereed to as "quarter turn fasteners". In the electrical world, I have seen them referred to as "quick-access panel fasteners". On aircraft they are often called Dzus fasteners, but I believe Dzus is a brand and not necessarily a type.

Found it! Its made by Camloc part# 50S12-1-1AA. Now to find a supplier in the US that sells them.

This is the screw that holds the panel shut right?

I removed mine, much easier to service it and it stays shut.

I'll see if I can find it, if so, it's yours.

Its the plastic retainer piece that is broken and is what I need.
Thanks

Thanks for everyones help. My impatience got the best of me. It took 30 minutes on the lathe to make two new ones out of black Delrin.

I should have done this in the beginning and it would have saved me all the time researching and writing this post. Lesson learned!
Here is a picture of the step all painted then rhino lined.
