xcrmckenna Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 I just replaced all my cowl camlocs with the Skybolt kit today. It turned out great. One of the four camlocs around the prop and engine has previously been replaced with a screw. I would like to replace the other three camlocs with the same screw type hardware circled in red, but I have no idea what this part is called or where to look on Aircraft Spruce. Thanks for any help.

carusoam Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 The original hardware seems flush mounted... The replacement anchor nut seems to have used a different type of rivet to hold it in place... See if you can use a flush mount / rivet this time as well... PP thoughts only... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
Guest Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 The nut plate appears to be held on with Pop rivets. You’ll want to use MS 20426AD3- 3 or 4 length. Clarence Quote

Guest Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 You might consider replacing the 2 aluminum plates as well. You’ll need to measure the thickness in an unworn section. Likely 0.050 or 0.063” 2024T3 aluminum and Ms20426AD4- 3 or-4 length and some epoxy for additional strength. Clarence Quote

daytonabch04 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Where can you get replacement cowl camlock's at? Quote

Not sure about a D model, but on my Ovation, its this series, I think the length is a 5. There is a little number on the face of the camloc. That's the length. https://www.milspecproducts.com/c_spec_4000_stainless_studs__phillips Quote

Skybolt and Milspec both manufacture stainless steel camloc compatible fasteners. Milspec sells single parts too. Quote
jaylw314 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 The skybolt fasteners have larger flanges than the small camlocs (Dzus) which helps keep it from pulling through fiberglass over time, although it means you might need a longer fastener than the old ones. The big camlocs from Skybolt seem pretty much equivalent. Quote
Guest Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Mooney used Camloc 2700 (smaller diameter) and 4000 (larger diameter) fasteners on many models. Earlier ones used screws. Earlier battery doors used Southco (Lion) fasteners before switching to 2700 Camloc fasteners. Dzus were more common on WW2 airplanes. Clarence Quote

Clarence I believe the fasteners that hold the left side, square, fuselage panel on many of the short and medium bodied birds is a Dzus product. The are the only flat headed fasteners on the whole airframe IIRC. Edited April 25, 2019 by Shadrach Quote
Guest Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Dzus fastener has a spring receptacle like this. Clarence Quote

ArtVandelay Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Not sure about a D model, but on my Ovation, its this series, I think the length is a 5. There is a little number on the face of the camloc. That's the length. For some reason on my J, some of the #5s on the lower cowl are too tight, I had replaced with #6s. May have something to do with the anti chafe tape used.Tom Quote
