Weather Striping

[Pete Masterson]

Ok, to ensure we're talking about the same thing:

The phillips head diameter is (approx) 1/4 inch. The stud shaft is
1/8 inch in diameter. The distance to the pin (from the head) is
about 7/8 inch and about 1/8 inch extends past the pin. (So the
overall length is about 1 inch.) The spring is about 3/8 inch with
about 5 turns in that distance.

I didn't examine the fitting close enough to note that it could pass
through at an angle... but that certainly makes sense.

I found the data sheet for the 2700-4s at AircraftSpruce.com ... and
the price matches, so I guess that's where you found them as well.

I'll take a close look at the studs tomorrow and probably replace all
of them with stainless* as well... mine are showing a bit of rust,
but most have the head painted to match the coach.

*I replaced the Southco latch on the radiator door with stainless
(with a screwdriver/coin slot instead of hex key) after I had to
drill one out due to corrosion.

Thank you for the information.
