SK28S3-xx series is now direct replacement for the SK2700
Camloc
By ANN Correspondent Juan Jimenez
Skybolt Aeromotive has obtained TSO C148
certification for their new SK28S3-x series of c-loc fasteners. The
new fasteners are direct replacements for the SK2700 series camloc
fasteners, which are still available but apparently may not remain
in production for much longer.
According to Skybolt, they are the first one-quarter turn
fastener company to obtain TSO C148 certification.
The new fastener is designed to handle replacement of SK2700's
that were either properly installed with dimpling, or may have been
improperly installed by drilling the mounting hole slightly larger.
The older camloc's would sometimes pull through because the flange
is only slightly wider than the fastener itself.
The new fastener's flange is significantly wider. If the hole
was dimpled and the old fastener was installed properly, the new
c-loc will install properly as well. If the hole was drilled
larger, the new c-loc will work too because the wider flange will
prevent it from pulling through.
The new c-loc fastener is available in
phillips-head only. It will not be available in slotted-head
because there is little demand for that variant. Price for the new
SK28S3 c-loc has been set at $3.39 each, with a price break to
$2.88 on orders of 50 or more. Best application for this new
product, according to Skybolt, is kit builders, owners of Cessna
182's and a number of racing applications.
