Ok list,

Another question!

The Dzus clips as we show have nothint to retain them. This will tned to runaway clips.

In theory, there is to be no space between the Locker and the I think Dzus rails is how they are labeled.

The retention devices I see all take up considerable space and will raise the locker and it will no longer be flush.

What are some of you using to retain the Dzus clip that keeps the lid flush to the Top Skin.

Hi Rich,

I used the little Dzus retaining rings - from Aircraft Spruce. They don't actually cause any problems with seating of the baggage door. They take up space already available in the hole in the strip.

Try cutting small discs of plastic from thin-walled plastic bottles and punching the appropriate sized hole in them. Worked for me for 14 years. Not too expensive either Wink

Hi Rich,

This same question came up a month or two back. I wrote, what I did was make the holes a little larger for easyer alighnment of the Dzus fasteners. The holes were too large for the standard Dzus Clips, so I used small "O" rings that fit the groove of the fastener. It's simple and works great.

Al-
Good tip on the O rings. I have the ACS retainers and they keep coming off.
No matter what, the main secret to installing Dzus is to have plenty of clearance for the major diameter. Rather than wrench the springs up and down to fit different heights, I went with different length Dzus. They're cheap enough.
