Bolts that can be undone with a coin
Irony - 3/1/12 at 05:06 PM

I need some bolts, machine screws that can be undone with a coin. I immediately thought of Dzus fastners but they won't work in this instance. Does anyone know what there officially called or where I can get some????

Used on high end video tripod plates usualy 1/4 inch short
Camera shop may have them, Vinten tripods, Manfrotto tripods, Jessops, Calumet.

Or find some short machine screws and file out the slot

Aren't they just gutter bolts?

For what application ?

Land Rover Defender floor screws are a coarse threaded (for use with spire clips) and have a shallow domed
head with a big slot. They are also available in stainless.

Tried all of the above solutions but their not really feasable. The best I have found is a cheese head slotted machine screw with the slot widened file a needle file or grinding disc. Not a very professional solution given the task which . The application is a for a set of trophy plinths that I have designed for work. The fixings will form part of the trophy securing device.

Milling machine would make a neat job compared to a file or angry grinder.
