Dzus fasteners

None of those Ian. It was about the same size as the 'dog tag I/D' (about 40mm square) and each corner was essentially rounded to a DZUS screwdriver and fitted a different type of Fastener. Chemiblack in colour and a hole about 10mm in the centre.

David,
Like this one ?

Spot on Mon Brave. Where did you get it?
Does it have a refence number on it starting with 22c/xxxxx ?

Allen,
NEVER use a screwdriver to operate Dzus fasteners.
I've seen too many aircraft hatch fasteners ruined by groundcrew who carried large GP screwdrivers around to use on them. Because the bottom of the slot is curved, the edges of the screwdriver will damage the slot.
A big penny washer, about 2" diameter, does the job perfectly and can be conveniently stored in the driver's door pocket.
Connoisseurs use a small screwdriver that Dzus used to make and could be attached to the keyring. That too had a circular-edged blade.

Thanks Tony.

Allen :thumbsup:

Oui mon Capitan !
But the RAF etched off most of the numbers on both of the two keys that I have.
I got them in surplus sale of the original 1960's fasteners.
