tackhammer,

If you are willing to sell some of the extras, I need two for my '42 B.

Don't know if they still use them, but at the time it was a common fastener on aircraft.

We still use Dzus and CamLocs on our Bell helicopters. There is or used to be a special wide flat tip screwdriver made for the Dzus fasteners.
