DZUS FASTENER W/SCREEN PILLAR REPRO
IN STOCK This part is immediately available
This Dzus fastener is attached to the windscreen stanchion with washer 554721 and released with spring 554722
fitted up to Commission number TS60,000. From TS60,001 a bolt rather than Dzus fastener 609108 was used instead. See below in related products..
Please be aware that during August 2017 we became aware that the head of some reproduction items is too big. As the head sits in a recess in the stanchion the Dzus fastener will sit proud and might require excessive force to close it. This may result in the cam legs of the fastener breaking off where they engage with the spring.
The correct parts have a head diameter (measured on Neil Revington's TR2, the fasteners are original Dzus and have not been changes in 40 years) of 17.5mm. some reproductions measure 18.8mm
See the photograph which shows the two sizes and a new, broken part subjected to excessive force.
However all is not lost. Revington TR have identified genuine Dzus parts that will do the job. We stock two parts. Both have a slightly smaller head than the standard TR part (better than too big) one is the correct length and the other is slightly shorter which may be useful in some circumstances where the spring wire retainer has already been bent outwards. The two part number we keep are shown below in related parts, whilst not exactly correct to the original specification they will do the job nicely and are made from original specification strong material.
