AEROCATCH 2 ABOVE PANEL

The AeroCatch 2 Panel Fastener is aerodynamically efficient and aesthetically styled. It sets new standards in panel fixing, providing a wide variety of fixing solutions for motorsport, vehicle specialist, marine, transportation and packing industries. The efficient shear pin locking operation evolved after many hours 3D computer modelling. Prototypes proved all high performance design criteria had been met including security, functionality, safety, ease of installation and operation.

• Aesthetically styled
• Provide a wide variety of fixing options
• PTFE coated stainless steel strike pins
• Ideal for thin metallic or composite panels
• SVA compliant
• Quick and easy to use
• Aerodynamic

This model was developed initially for off shore applications such as racing power boats. It was developed to secure engine covers and hatches. The styling and flush fit of the AeroCatch 2 eliminated trip hazards on deck and provided the panel security required to meet the demands of this extreme application. Later the AeroCatch2 followed its fellow AeroCatches and has now become widely used in motorsport applications.

There are two types of AeroCatch2 available; 'Above Panel (formerly called Plus Flush) and 'Below Panel' (formerly called Flush).

• Above Panel Kit (220 Series) is designed to be fixed through the top surface of a panel with six M4 countersunk screws. The fitting flange will be 2.5mm above the panel surface. Ideal for thin metallic or composite panels.
• Below Panel Kit (225 Series) is designed to be fixed from underneath the panel thereby creating a flush surface and can be bonded into position so that there are no fasteners visible from the top of the panel. Ideally suited for composite panels.
