[Scudrunner]

I’m missing a few of these

They’re for the inspection panels in my floorboards.
Some had screws in them and others just aluminum duct tape. Me being a Proper Pilot&trade who cares about such things I want to make them all uniform looking ocd or something.

I checked the Cessna section of Cambodian Tire but not luck. Maybe it’s my Scottish roots but 1.50 a piece seems a little steep for an glorified tack.

Print them?

[Nark]

They’re metal which hold tension on each “leg.”

Mine seem to jiggle loose, and each annual lose 3-4. Mash a #10 and bob’s your uncle.

But yes, anything from spruce requires a kidney and first born.

I figured they were, but plastics and polymers have come a long way, I've seen engine valves and gears made of Nylon,

Ya I’ll use screws, I like the ease of the popping them out without grabbing the fuel checkers that’s 1.5 feet away.

I looked for designs on thing verse to print but not much came up. Heck I’ll scan AliExpress might be able to get thousands from China for the price of 8 on spruce.

Catchy eh.

I know you would prefer chrome but some of these might work pretty good or possibly better.

These snap caps are metal.

grab me some measurements when you get a minute Scud,

was just thinking about this after reading all the taildragger tips above, if you do decide to print them you could make it a sacrificial barbed plug instead, like in a car's trim panel. being plastic it would hold much better and you can just pop them and replace them whenever.

It’s hard to really imagine the size of it from the picture but that tri-mount stud looks like it belongs in tarp making or some other commercial sewing.

Those "pushpins" are used in everything from 200 mph motorcycles to cars to trucks ...

They look like sh1t but work amazingly well. I hate them. Give me a Tinnerman clip
and a machine screw, any day. Or better yet, a row of nut plates.
