Not a stupid question at all, these are clekos. They are used in aircraft and custom auto construction.They are temporary fasteners so you can position your panel and remove it for trimming or other purposes until you are ready to attach it permanently.
cool. So how do they work? it isn't real clear to me yet, sorry
Oh.. you were straight west of us. I grew up in Essex county. You were probably in the mountains out there then. Nice area.I grew up in the area where the Soprano's was filmed. In fact, my grandparents house was less then a mile from the Soprano's house.
yea its nice, i live about 15-20 minutes away from PA going down RT57
You drill a 1/8" hole in the two pieces you want to hold together, then use the special pliers to insert it in the hole. They spread apart and grab the back panel and hole it tight to the front panel.
this thing isnt a rig its a masterpiece. oh and i know where that pic in your avatar is, i broke my first birf right there on the flip flop.
Man it must suck, usually you've got a job this small done and painted, sucks to have to deal with that thin metal to keep it from warping.
Don't know about a masterpiece, but it is one of a kinde that is for sure.
At least he has the time to take the time.
