I got the sample, then at Sun'N'Fun, I talked to the people. I grabbed the
owner, and we walked over to the Velocity tent to measure the flange
thicknesses. It was very difficult explaining to them our situation, and it
took them seeing the airplane to know what I was talking about.
I went ahead and bought thirty fasteners, and they came in this week. I'll
post some results as soon as I can.
Their fastener line is deceptively complicated.

Whatever happened to the thread on group purchasing of subject parts? Or
even the identification of suitable such fasteners?
