Product Information

Full details

These Grayston Over Centre Panel Clips are designed for motorsport enthusiasts and professionals needing a secure and reliable way to fasten panels, boots, or tailgates, especially in high-speed applications. Their primary benefit is providing a robust, non-lockable closure mechanism that is easy to operate. A minor consideration is that these are non-lockable, meaning they may not be suitable for applications requiring an anti-tamper feature. Key features include chrome plating for durability, a pair of clips per set, and suitability for various automotive and karting applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these clips lockable?

No, these are non-lockable over-centre panel clips. They provide a secure fastening but do not have a key or locking mechanism.

What materials are used for these clips?

The clips are chrome plated for durability and corrosion resistance.

How many clips are included in a set?

Each purchase includes a pair of clips (two individual clips).

Can these be used on exterior car doors?

While they can be used for tailgates or boot lids, their suitability for main car doors depends on the specific application and structural requirements. They are primarily designed for access panels and covers.

What is the primary advantage of the over-centre design?

The over-centre design provides a positive locking action that becomes more secure as the lever is fully closed, making it resistant to vibration and accidental opening.

Do I need to purchase mounting hardware separately?

Yes, mounting hardware such as screws or rivets are not included with the panel clips.

What kind of maintenance do these clips require?

Periodic cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and checking fastener tightness is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not latch securely.

Ensure the mounting points are aligned correctly and that the panel is closing flush. Check that the clip components are securely fastened and not loose. The distance between mounting points may need adjustment.

Clip is difficult to operate.

Verify that the panel and frame are not warped or misaligned. Check for any obstructions or debris in the mechanism. A very light application of a suitable lubricant might improve operation.

Chrome plating appears dull or discolored.

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If discoloration is severe, it may indicate prolonged exposure to corrosive elements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable chrome plating resists rust and wear.
  • Easy and quick operation for rapid access.
  • Secure closure suitable for vibration-prone environments.
  • Versatile for various panel and hatch applications.
  • Supplied as a convenient pair for immediate use.

Cons

  • Non-lockable design lacks security against unauthorized access.
  • May require careful alignment for optimal function.
  • Not designed for heavy-duty structural load-bearing applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the mounting points on both the panel and the vehicle chassis.
  2. Align the male and female parts of the clip at the desired closed position.
  3. Securely attach each part of the clip using appropriate fasteners (screws or rivets, not included) to their respective surfaces.
  4. Test the over-centre action to ensure a firm closure without excessive force.

Compatibility:

These clips are generally compatible with most flat or gently curved surfaces found on automotive panels, boots, and tailgates. They are suitable for applications in karting, general motorsport, and custom vehicle builds. Compatibility depends on the size and weight of the panel being secured and the ability to properly mount the clip components.

Care:

To maintain optimal performance and appearance:

  • Clean the clips periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the chrome plating.
  • Periodically check the fasteners securing the clips to ensure they remain tight.
  • In environments prone to corrosion, a light application of appropriate lubricant can help maintain smooth operation.
