Removable bodywork

Does anyone know how to fit the body panels so they are easily removable, using screws or whatever? I was going to 'glue' them in place but since i want to keep changing bits once its finished this might be a bad idea, i could really do with being able to remove them for good access

By the way, all my panels are GRP, no aluminium

You could use any of the multitude of 1/4 turn fasteners that abound. They're available in plastic, aluminium and steel with various protective finishes. They require the same "push-and-turn" action as bayonet light bulbs, which make them very easy and quick to undo.
Some are simple detachable fasteners, and others are captive, in otherwords, the fastener remains in the panel when it's removed.
Some have radiused slots similar to slotted screws, and others have butterfly heads etc.
There are brands such as Dzus, Camloc, Tridair, etc.
Airdromes attract a lot of vendors for these products, alternatively, Demon Tweeks etc would probably stock them.


I would attach a pic of one, but the "Browse" button has disappeared.
