Dzus Fastener Flaring tool


Recommended Posts

Bob & Ian.

For single handed fitting that method is good.  
The tools require a second pair of hands to hold the bonnet while the tools are struck and the grommet/retainer washer are set.     Same goes with the sidescreen and screen stanchions.

Roger-Since you have a lathe, it is easy to make a cone (maybe 45 or 60 deg) with an ID to fit a 3/8" bolt (or whatever the ID of the grommet is). Use the cone and nut&bolt to start the flare. Much safer than using a hammer around the bonnet.

I used a large countersunk Allen screw and then  nut, washer and bolt , works quite  well.  i used some forming grease, but tapping grease will do a similar job . It helps the metal to form more easily with out scoring
