Thank you chaps – I have a Spitfire Mk1 cowl that has the hole for a fastener and a Fairey stamp and 30028 part number – so I assume it came with a Fairey fastener and it is too large diameter.
This one has a diameter of 16.5 mm at the main barrel. It has a steel slotted internal barrel that is attached through a steel shaft to the parallel steel bar. Which sits in the stepped slots in the base- like the bottom of the camlock fastener. My assumption is that there is a spring inside and pushing down on the steel barrel and rotating it – moves the parallel steel bar.
It is not for moving but there is a void under the lip of the steel slot and the upper edge of the outer barrel has teeth around the diameter.
If anything it looks like a camlock but with the bottom housing included…
It was from a fairing that was supposed to be from a Hawker Typhoon. I just cant see its shape on the Typhoon so was double checking via the fastener to see what it may be . I attach some further pics
There are no rivets on the edges of the holes in the fairing that would have held a fastener structure.
