hi, I've lost one of my self-ejecting, slotted, quarter turn fasteners and I don't know which one to order on ebay.
Mine are 16mm across the head, shaft is 8mm diam and the total length is 19mm.
Dzus like to work in inches, and don't clearly explain how to measure the things, but is that a 5/16 (i.e. about 8mm?)?
I can only find those on ebay from america for £20 each, which I'm not keen to take a punt on if I'm not sure.

Thanks,

a quick bit of searching found...

The correct way to measure the length or grip of a Quarter Turn Fasteners or Dzus Fasteners is to measure from under the head of the fastener to the bottom of the spring locking area.
