I noticed a rush of cold air coming into the plane (PA24-260B) on a recent flight and traced it to a missing fastener on the access panel that gets you into the tailcone from the baggage compartment. Tried looking at the parts catalog on the ICS website but it doesn't seem to have the fasteners notes for this sort of thing. Just wondering if someone might point me in the right direction for finding the fasteners used to attach that panel. Part number would be awesome.

Pics attached show one of the non-missing counterparts.

Thanks,

Tim,

Purely a guess but maybe a southco fastener?

That is a CamLoc fastener. I would call Webco first as they might have them and save me the trouble of figuring out which part number fits. Otherwise, Spruce has them and you will have to measure dimensions and order here:

That's a Camloc 2600 series. Look at one of the others, the length is embossed on the head of the fastener and is the dash number for the length you require
