What are Dzus fasteners used for? And Where are Dzus fasteners used?
Dzus quarter-turn fasteners are used in the drag racing industry for quickly connecting bodies and panels that need to be removed for access to components.

How are Dzus fasteners measured?
It is correct to measure a Dzus Fastener’s length or grip from the base of the spring locking area to where the head meets the body. For flush heads and self-ejecting Dzus fasteners, the measurement is made from the top of the head to the bottom of the spring locking area.

How do I order Dzus Fasteners?

Our inventory of Dzus include a variety of diameters. The shaft of a Dzus determines the diameter of the fastener. For an undercut style fastener, the diameter is determined by measuring the widest section of the shaft. The diameter of 7/16′′ Dzus is actually .406′′, not 7/16′′ (.437). BTW The diameter of the fasteners is displayed in fractions of an inch since they are made in the USA. Dzus are most commonly sold in diameters of 5/16″ and 7/16″.

We sell Dzus spring in three sizes: 3/4″, 1″, and 1-3/8″. The size is determined by the distance between the rivet centers of the spring. As a rule, 3/4″ Dzus Springs are used with 1/4″ diameter Dzus, 1″ Dzus Springs with 5/16″ Dzus, and 1-3/8″ Dzus Springs with 7/16″ Dzus.

Thank you for making this video. I need to add some dzus fasteners to my race car. The previous owner installed fiberglass fenders but installed to few of fasteners. There two feet apart. Not enough support for the fender. I want to add at least two between them.

Excellent video..but why not shorter smash rivets so you don't have to cut?

Liked your "quick" explanation, but as more detailed walk thru of each would have been better
