748 748e Dzus Fasteners

  1. Does the 748 E have the backing plates on the frame to retro fit the dzus fasteners or would you have to make them work?

  2. You buy the two parts for each clip together. Get good quality ones which are expensive. You may also need plastic washers to "shim" the clips to the perfect thickness for the clips to work perfectly.

  3. Thanks for that, just wondered if the 748E has the lugs on the frame to simply attach to or of you have to modify the frame to accept them

  4. I should think so. How do the original screw fasteners work?

  5. I'll hazard a guess that they use wellnuts, probably cost about 50p less per fixing.

  6. I’m not sure tbh, it’s on a bike I am considering buying so not familiar with them

  7. The 748 e uses a clip on nut and bolts instead of dzus fastener recepticals. I can't be 100% sure as I don't have an e but I would be very surprised if the brackets were any different. However, I have used clip on nuts instead of dzus on my 916 at some point. They're the same size and are interchangeable on my bike. Screenshot_20251015-132101~2.jpg

  9. Are Dzuz fasteners that important?
