Josef Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 So I got these in a job lot of mostly BL parts (not as much Triumph stuff as I was hoping). However, I have no idea what they’re for! The threaded thing is like the retainer used on late Spitfire seat frames, but shorter. So it may, or may not, have a similar application? The other parts, no idea at all. The whole lot were in a bag with some hood press studs though. Any ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 used for tonneaux covers across the top of the dash etc Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Look like Turnbuttons? Or parts thereof. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yep, I agree with PeteL, they look like the front tonneaux fasteners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Pete H uses the same name I do, turnbutton fasteners. The flat piece with the four slots is for reinforcing in behind the fabric / whatever they're used on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef Posted February 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Ah, thanks all. I was thinking something along those lines but couldn’t picture what the male part would look like. I guess the peg things will also be tonneau fixings given the context of the rest of the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 The peg things could be for "durable dot" fasteners, which I've also seen used for tonneaux covers - actually probably more often than the turnbuttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I agree with Pete - Tonneaux Cover Fasteners - Turnbutton Fasteners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also called 'lift the dot' fasteners. I had a mixture of both types on the hood of my Midge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
