Fitting
Fitting D Ring Clip Dzus fasteners can be tricky the first time you try it, so please be patient :)
Dummy fitting the fastener first to check engagement distance is the only way to achieve proper results.

1. Drill the hole through the two panels you want to fasten together first, making sure there is room on the rear panel for mounting the backing clip.  
2. Dummy fit the fastener through the hole and into the backing clip/plate to make sure the fit is good. You want it to fasten with the right amount of tension. If it is too tight you may break the fastener - if it is too lose the fastener may rattle free.
3. If it is too tight and will not "Engage" nicely with a 1/2 turn, then you will need to bend the tab on the backing plate to suit.
   NOTE: Make sure you heat the backing plate first before you bend it or it may snap. A cup of hot water will suffice. And bend it a little bit each time, if you go too far the fastener will be loose and the tab may break if you bend it too many times.
4. If the fastener is too loose you can add the nylon washer or a normal washer to space it out.
5. When you have the engagement distance set correctly, re-fit the fastener.
