Hi Achim,
The RD04 has the fast closers so that the tank (not the fairing) can be
removed quickly. The company that makes them has the strange name "Dzus",
so mostly they are called "Dzus fasteners". They've got lots of smart
fastening systems and the racing and aircraft guys love them. Is Sweden, I
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.
The golden rule of metal spun hoses (Aeroquip and Goodridge) applies to
fasteners too: Get the original (Dzus) stuff and don't be fooled by cheap
imitations.
