D ring fasteners anywhere?

Post by bossy122 »

Does anyone know of any PE or 3D D ring fasteners anywhere? I am working on a 1970 917K and the pics I have seen clearly show D fasteners on that front bonnet part. I'm not usually THAT picky about details, but those moulded on NOT D fasteners on the Fujimi kit.......yuck. I know Studio 27 made a PE set with the proper fasteners but they keep rereleasing things I don't need instead of things I do need.....like 917K PE sets or Benetton 188 carbon decals. Thanking you in advance..... :D

Try and google for "dzus fastener scale" that should give you some ideas.

That is a nice set, thank you. Funny that I spent an hour scowering the interwebs ( :wink: ) for "fasteners" when the term I needed to use was "bonnet pins". Always fun trying out think the search engines. And then Hiro calls them "catch pins".
Anyone know what the big rings on that Hiro set are for?

Yeah I know, the reason I know about them is I was looking for them myself some time ago and struggled to find them due to using the incorrect description. I just dug around in my stash and still have the unused pack which I’ll probably never use. I’m happy to send it to you for postage cost, PM me if you’re interested.

Can you post a picture of exactly what you're looking for? and what scale do you need them in?

Looks like I have it taken care of. Thank you to everyone for helping, now let's hope my 2023 bad luck with modelling hasn't followed me into '24. :D
For those interested
