Nukemzzz Posted May 16, 2021 Report Posted May 16, 2021 Where would I find replacement quarter turn screws for the battery door on my 66’ E? The heads are almost all stripped out now.

Ragsf15e Posted May 17, 2021 Report Posted May 17, 2021 Curious, and just for future reference in this thread, which special tools are needed to pull the old ones and insert new? 1

The cores are easy... the grommets are the tough parts... The special pliers to pull the cores out are too expensive but can be found at Aircraft Spruce... Getting the right dimensions for the cores is important... they have specific lengths... So... a parts manual can be really helpful for how many and how long... If you buy the tools once... you will have them forever... https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapages/camloctools3.php Best regards, -a-

There are no special tools required to remove or install Southco fasteners. A small jewellers screwdriver to pop the split ring off and fingernails to reinstall them. Clarence

N201MKTurbo Posted May 18, 2021 Report Posted May 18, 2021 The slotted ones are better because you can quickly look and see that all the slots are lined up which means they are all latched properly. Not quite so easy with the Phillips heads. If you use a good fitting screwdriver and use a little care, the slotted ones will last forever. 1

Torc would also work well...
