Spitfire Hurricane Cowl Fastener Question

That’s very similar to the Whitley type but it doesn’t have a hinge. If you find any similar ones let us know as they also appear to fit either Spit or Hurricane.

Thats an oddity – not Spitfire or Hurricane for sure. I cant speak with any certainty about others.

Any chance of a pic Dave?

Whitleys used the Fairey Turnbutton fastener which was made by Fairey.

Hi all , can anyone tell me if the Spit and Hurri uses a hinged variety of fairey cowl fastener pn FS 136/2 , as the battle does use these on the lower engine cowls i was wondering if they were common to any other ww2 aircraft.

I have found a limited supply of NOS fasteners.

With all the experts on here someone must know 😀
