Best place for dzus fasteners?

  1. Hi all,

    I'm looking for a set of dzus fasteners to replace the ones currently on my 748 as they are getting a bit manky.

    Where is the best place to get some genuine ones from at a decent price?

    Cheers!

    Sam:upyeah:
     
  2. Aye, seen and used them before no doubt they are good but are there any cheaper alternatives?

    (or am I just asking for crap then?)
     
  3. I very nearly answered with "in your fairing"

    But to be honest I tried to go cheap on a vfr years ago and they might as well of been made of chocolate.

    Pay the extra, it really is worth it in the long run.

  4. Ok, thanks for that, I think you're right :wink:
     
  5. I keep an eye out all the time for the very same and the original 'sculpted' look fasteners are hard to find at anything under £5 each unfortunately. Someone has replicated them in a slightly more exotic material and has priced them also around £5. The more common 'pan-head' type are more reasonably priced and appear in gold from time to time. Whatever you do, don't be tempted to use aftermarket aluminium type replicas (or loosely fitting originals) particularly in the two belly locations as you might have a 'Red Bull' experience.
     
  6. Urgh yeah, I've heard about that.

    On another note, has anyone used the black zinc plated dzus fasteners?

    If so, how do they hold up over time?
     
  7. I think I've got a set of gold pan head type Dzeus sitting in my trackday box, how many do you need?
     
  8. Hi Drinky,

    That's really kind of you, but I ordered some online earlier on - d'oh!

    Cheers anyway :)
     
  9. No worries.
     
  10. I'm also in the market for 4 gold fasteners but the ones on line don't actually look gold, maybe you could let me buy yours Drinky?
     
  11. Ummmm, how will we know if mine idea of gold is the same as yours? If you pm me an address I'll pop 4 in the post for you.
     
  12. The best Dzus I know are from ProBolt, not cheap but great quality!!
     
  13. Got them this morning thanks a lot Drinky
