Guide: Installing Dzus Panex - Clip Plates

Install method: Dzus Panex Clip-On

1. Tools:

• Stepped Drill Bit – OR – ¼” Drill Bit
• 1/16” Drill Bit
• Measuring Tape

2. Check

• Check that flange has 1" or more space
• If flange is short, clip will not be fully seated

3. Drill Pilot Holes for Dzus bolt hole:

• With Clip-On plate located, use 1/16” drill bit to dill a pilot hole to accurately locate the Dzus bolt hole.

4. Use Backside center Dzus bolt hole to locate outer hole:

• Remove Clip
• Hold bodywork together
• Use the 1/16” Drill bit from backside and drill though front bodywork to locate the outer hole.

5. Enlarge the Dzus bolt holes:

• Use the stepped drill bit hole for the bolt on both the inner and outer panel to ¼”.
• Note: Can use a ¼” Drill bit in a pinch, but a stepped drill bit makes a cleaner hole.

6. Install bolt:

• Install the bolt though the outer panel
  • Use a plastic washer on both the inside and outside to hold the bolt to the outer bodywork. The inside washer will protect your paint from wear.
• Insert bolt though inner panel and turn bolt to engage.
  • It is normal to be difficult to turn the bolt the first time.
  • If the bolt seems “Loose”, you can add a second washer on the bolt to snug up the fit.
