Dzus Fastener Sizing
Can somebody help me size / select a Dzus fastener? What I want is what I would call a button-head Dzus fastener with an ALLEN (Hex) drive (this is going in an area with limited clearance, and a standard Dzus tool will have a hard time getting in there). I don't need anything that's self-ejecting, just the Dzus (I think they actually refer to them as buttons) itself.
Moroso APPEARS to make what I want, but I can't match the dimensions to ANY dimensions of the Dzus I currently have. The size I have (and would need to make sure that the shaft diameter and length were the same) is as follows: Head Diameter: 0.675" Shaft Diameter: 0.406" (0.400" nominal?) Overall Length: 0.775" Shaft Length: 0.660" (from bottom of button head to end of shaft) I don't care about the material (the ones I have now are steel, which is fine), and I generally don't care about cost because I only need two of them (though I know I'm probably going to need to buy 10). The only things I really care about is that it works in place of the fastener that I have now (I'd prefer them to be silver-ish in color, but really they could be any color). Thanks in advance...

Nope. But thanks for the link Lee. I will definitely put them down in my "shopping" links, as it appears that they do carry lots of good stuff (and I do need LOTS of stuff at the moment.

Re: Dzus Fastener Sizing
Thanks David, but I didn't see them on Speedway Motors either. They do have an interesting hollow-steel quarter-turn fastener that could work, but it doesn't look like it's long enough.
On a slightly related note, it appears my Dzus specification question may be answered, as from the Speedway Motors website it looks like Dzus fasteners are specified ONLY by the reach (length from the bottom of the button head to the end of the fastener)??? That seems very odd to me as it leaves the rest of the dimensions pretty ambiguous, especially since it doesn't appear that the manufacturing of said fasteners isn't monitored by some type of standards organization (but, maybe I'm wrong about that). Keep the suggestions coming...
