Upholstery Tabs

[OkieAviator]

I'm working on my interior and I'm going to need to replace some 40 year old tabs, not sure what they're called though. Here's a picture I found, it's the tab at top connecting the plastics.

Check the manual for that aircraft,that should specify what placards are required in the aircraft.

Oh I'm sorry, I'm talking about the tab that's holding the plastic to the aluminum door. Not sure what they're called, but I need a few news ones to replace rusted ones.

Upholstery push pin. They come in many varieties and sizes. Take one out by prying on the sides, or get the special fork tool and take it to an upholstery DIY place and they can match them, or order what you need.

Xmas tree pin also for some applications.

Upholstery push pin.

That's it, thanks. I Google imaged it and I guess technology has changed and they're all plastic now vs my 40 year old Cessna specials.

Take one to your local auto parts store. They have assortments of them.

If you have a metal one, it's probably a poprivit. But I can't imagine a steel (rusty) one being used.
But there are all kinds and sizes of gizmos to fit the bill. A few can be had at the local parts store. Others can be had from AvEco, or from the auto dealer.

The fasteners are Auveco capped trim fasteners model number 1202 i believe... You should be able to find them at any upholstery shop or online. The only problem with on line is you"ll likely have to buy 100 of them.
