WTB Cleco Pins

[IamScotticus]

I measured 5/32 for Caterham panels.

If you used them on a Cat, they should work for me.

how many do you need 

[IamScotticus]

I dunno 

[toldfield]

Excellent response!   I have a bunch of them that I hope to never need.  I'll email you and see what we can work out.

Selling tools, that is just not right. You know Murphy is an evil bastard and you will need them the week after you sell them.

 

Never going to happen here.

you DEFININETLY need the pliers

[Nick OTeen]

Yes, without the special Cleco pliers you wouldn't get very far. When you are working on, or making, panels Clecos are indispensable Amazon has a variety of sets available.

are the pliers size specific or universal?

[Nick OTeen]

One set of pliers will work with all sizes of Cleco fasteners.

Thinking about the process of body skinning, where some seam and join filet welding is required, 

it's a better practice to attach all panels with Clecos, rather than rivets, in case the welding is botched beyond repair and panel replacement is required.
