The "S" spring is held in place with rivets.- I'm not sure what Zenith in
tends for you to do with it but I used AN426-AD-3-X rivets.- The -3 being
3/32 and the "X" being what ever length you need.
-
As for the wingnut portion, I wasn't happy with the factory retention clip
systems so I use a gasket makers punch to make a small disk of aluminum.-
I then drilled out a centre hole just big enough to fit in the retention g
roove of the wingnut shaft.- A slit from the outer edge to the center hol
e allowd me to flex the disk enough to get it on.- So far the two fastene
rs I did this way are working great.

Just to forwarn you, if you have to order any Dzus parts in from say Spruce
or Wicks you might want to get some help from somone who understands the D
zus-numbering system.- It is pretty nasty.

I can't figure out how to install the Dzus fastener for my oil door.
The Zenith manual skips over this step.
My guess is to match drill a large hole to fit the wing nut part and then r
ivet the "S" shaped piece underneath on the door frame.
The question then becomes how the wing-nut part is retained when the door i
s opened. It seems like the fastener would just fall out with an open door.

Hi John,
The dzus stud is retained by a plastic washer. The washer captures the
reduced neck and can be bought or made from milk jug material.
See link, http://www.macsmachine.com/images/cowling/full/Dzustools.gif
My cowling page shows an oil door with Dzus and hinge components.
