  Brian,

  Are these the Skybolt fasteners? FWIW I wandered around the pits a couple
of times at Laguna Seca racetrack and talked to some of the mechanics as the
open wheel cars have similar requirements for attaching body panels. All
used camlocks or skybolt fasteners.One said the skybolts were better as they
could be adjusted.

    Sorry for the delay.

    I have mine installed, and am using the following parts:

    Stud: sk40s5-2s
    Grommet: sk-0s
    receptacle: sk245-4
    snap ring: skr4g

    It's about $10 per fastener.  Not cheap, but I like them.

      Brian,   Have you posted subject pics yet?    I can't find them.
Also, have you the source and part numbers?

      Thanks,   Gordon
