I need to get some slide fasteners for my hood rail. I've been told the Zsus slide fasteners are perfect, any idea where I would get them from, and am I spelling zsus right?

Can't help with the where to get them part but my guess is "dzus fasteners" is the spelling you need?

Dzus mate!

Try http://www.southco.com/landingpages/dzus/ for product range. Try Merlin for stock.

These are great, far better than the usual twist things

Is that Jasper from the old days on here when were were both building our ZX9 cars??????

Alternative solutions include:

Triumph hood catches (available from Rimmer Bros)

Cut down Bike Quick Release bolts (as used on saddles etc)

Or at about half the price of Europa (hope I'm not too late):

Thanks chaps And yes, Austin, still here, but got a 'proper' engined car now

3 for £7.20 incl postage off Ebay, which is good enough for me.
