Vans RV Cowling Fastener Kits |
Vans RV Kits were developed and proven in the early 1990s by Skybolt when we built our 1st RV4. Through our years at Oshkosh and SunNFun, Skybolt has exchanged ideas with thousands of builders. We have evolved as the kits and cowlings have evolved. This included 3.5" fastener spacing as a standard for each kit set. You can always count on the most up-to-date kits and components from Skybolt. In 2007, Skybolt included a PowerPoint CD with every kit detailing installation instructions in an easy to follow format. Skybolt kits are distributed through Aircraft Spruce or directly from Skybolt. Either source will provide the best and most current kit versions available. Any other source is likely a copy of something we discontinued years ago.
All Skybolt Vans RV Kits are now supplied with our new CLoc Super Series 4000 Fastener. This is a huge improvement in quality! CLoc Fasteners are now designed to outlast anything the competition has to offer by at least 2 to 1. Our new "Hardened Standard #2 Phillips Head" resists galling with overall strength ratings 30% above most competitors. Beware of another competitor's Non-Standard Phillips Head. You can spot them (occasionally) on the flight line. They have a unique "automotive" look about them. It is important to know your source for aircraft cowling fasteners. There are important differences between the Skybolt CLoc and other brands.
