Rushjob, What length are the Dzus fastners you used?
Tasty nuts do them in stainless steel at half the price of their anodised alloy ones and I rather fancy stainless than alloy or zinc plate but they only come in 17mm length. Will these be OK or will I need 19mm?
I'm about to do this conversion in the next week or two.

I used standard Ducati ones which, when I've just measured them, from the underside of the flat on the head to the end of the fastener are 15.97mm!
I'd say use the 17mm. (this is the one they recommend for Ducatis on the website anyway.)
You will need to tweak the back of the receptacles to get the correct fit as I mentioned, or at least I did!

Great. Thanks for your prompt reply. I'll order them today.
