Hi,



>Hi Achim,

found them at >an aircraft supplier. I guess you could find them if you ask
an aircraft or racing mechanic where they buy their Dzus.

VERY GOOD HINT! Take a look at http://www.dusz.com and you'll find exactly
that. There is a list of distributors worldwide, and there I found one in
Austria, which sells the original ones.
