I know they have been discussed but I don't remember anyone ever posting a link to where they can be purchased. I saw them in the Summit catalog the other day and thought I would share.

Summit Racing SUM-G1620 - Summit Racing® Self-Ejecting Quick-Release Fasteners - Overview - SummitRacing.com

A few of these on belly pans, wheel skirts, grill blocks etc for quick removal.

Summit quick-release fastener weld plates are the anchors for quarter-turn, cam-lock, quick-release fasteners, including our own Summit lines and other forms of Dzus fasteners.

These plates are a required part in many quick-release fastener installations.
