clecos

[PeterK]

Just found this in my bookmarks from a past purchase. After recent discussion about clecos for panel alignment and floor installation, I thought it may be helpful to those not ever seeing these things before. Clecos are most like temporary pop rivets- drill a hole, use the special pliers to extend the gripping end and release the pliers. The clecos can be adjusted as you work around apiece to get it aligned just right. Then remove every other one and plug weld the hole. nfi but I found the best deals here.

This is the best place I've found for clecos :
