maybe it's a simple straight forward anser but what do you guys use to hold your mid panels to your lowers ?
i had dzus clips ( the clip version not the rivet) that would have been ideal but when i went to fit them this afternoon i have only 2, i rang around a few laces and all they stock is rivet clips.
so what do you boys use, a nut and bolt, dzus clips, cable ties ?

push on DZUS like the 2 you have. mind you, you'll be surprised how many bike shops have no idea what they are!
the rivet type, i dont think you need to rivet them. just pinch them tighter and they should be fine.

cheers V, what about the 1/4 turn screws, is it just 10mm depth required ?

I bought some Dzus fasteners from eBay. They're the 1/4 turn ones and are great. Loads on eBay....

i'm not sure you can use the D-ring type 1/4 screws as the bodywork has a recess for the normal screw type to fit in and the D part doesn't fit into it.

Oops sorry i copied the wrong link

No you're right you wouldn't be able to use the D-ring type.
I just checked my Dzus fasteners and they are 17mm in length like these (hopefully right link this time
