These variants have been selected by Radical to meet stringent safety requirements, through their ability to provide secure, flush panel fitment without any protrusions from the bodywork.
The type 50-1535 fastener is a shortened version of Protex´s type 50-535 standard range adjustable catch, which is available in both stainless steel or mild steel with passivated zinc plate finish. The new unit´s over-centre design provides positive panel location and a simple locking action without the need for additional tools, such as a screwdriver or coin. It also has the ability to accommodate a range of panel widths and is compatible with a wide variety of catchplate designs enabling its use to be standardised throughout Radical vehicles.
The fasteners, which are employed to secure the car´s nose, centre section and rear bodywork, deliver an ultimate strength of 350 kgf, ensuring rigid retention of the composite moulded panels under high aerodynamic and cornering loads.
