JC, I know ive already responded to this, but I think I came up with something to replicate those 1/4 turn fasteners!! I thought of it while working on another Cobra Super Blower for a friend. use the washers from MCG's bolts/screws set, get some thin wire that will fit into the washer, and flatten the end of the wire with smooth pliers (like you would do if you were making your own toggle switches), then shape it with a sanding stick or file!!
