Dzus fasteners

[Warren]

The repop false floors in the boot come with nothing installed. I have a set out of a original false floor. The parts that mount thru the plywood are a lot like brass grommets, but aluminum. I'm guessing it'll take some kind of crimping tool and some the proper centers . There looks to be a split ring that prevents the male part from coming out.

Seen some on Summit and ePay but not a proper replacement.
Ideas?

Repop Incomplete ??

The recent RePop we had from Rick was complete with all the fittings. Rick has the crimp tool (he won't lend me so I can make a copy, the brat). He also has the Dzus w/rings.

Got a 1990 model in 2011 that came with receipts. Most recently got another in the box with the receipt. Both even if you add a couple zero's to a 90 day return policy I'm probably still out of luck. I was starting to think it was a made to fit the car item as they all are a little different.

Thanks for the response Randy I will call Rick on the clamping tool. It can't be much more than a tarp grommet tool like you'd find at the Northern Tool and supply in your neck of the woods. Me I might have to go West Marine or find a Grainger or go online .

Cutting the vinyl must be done with a special tool as well possibly a die type punch.

Maybe I'll just turn up the tunes when going over speed bumps as that is what bothers me the most the flapping of the panel

It is similar to grommet punch but you have to form the grommet with the male Dzus in the hole. The grommet closes down and retains the "bolt"
