Well, the number 6 camlocs arrived from Aircraft Spruce and ....
they're too short.
I was able to re-measure (using the distance from the pin to the end
added to my broken stud) to get an overall length of 1.0625 (approx)
inches.
At the Milspec <http://www.milspecproducts.com/index.html> web site,
this matches to a #16 camloc (1.06 inches in the catalog) and (after
another bout with the magnifying glass), I see a 1 in front of the 6
that I originally took as a tool mark rather than a part of the
number. Aircraft Spruce doesn't carry the #16, but Milspec does (and
stated that they're the supplier to Aircraft Spruce). This is a "very
long" and "unusual" camloc, but I was able to order them (by phone as
Milspec doesn't have an online order form). They'll be here next
week. Note, the Milspec web site includes a page with the overall
length of each camloc, should you need it.
Yes, I have the 6-tooth internal locking washer that goes on the
inside of the panel. (I ordered new ones with the new camlocs as I
doubt that I can remove the old ones in re-usable condition.)
