Dzus Plate L/W

The Triple X Race Components Dzus Plate L/W (lightweight) is a quick-release fastening component designed for high-performance automotive fabrication and race car assembly. This precision-engineered plate serves as the anchor point for Dzus fasteners—a motorsport standard for removable body panels, access covers, and aerodynamic elements on custom and competition vehicles. If you're building a race car, street rod, or performance machine where rapid panel removal matters, the Dzus Plate L/W eliminates traditional bolts and welded studs in favor of tool-free quarter-turn assembly.

Triple X Race Components engineers this lightweight fastening solution to minimize weight without compromising structural integrity—critical in weight-sensitive builds where every pound affects acceleration, braking, and handling. The plate's compact footprint (2.95 × 5.3 inches) and featherweight design (0.03 lbs) make it ideal for engine bay covers, hood pins, access panels, and fuel door applications. The Dzus mechanism itself uses a spring-loaded pin and quarter-turn action that creates a secure, vibration-resistant connection while allowing repeated disassembly for maintenance, tuning, or panel replacement.

Mechanics and fabricators building drag cars, road race platforms, and custom hot rods rely on Dzus fastening systems to reduce assembly time and streamline vehicle disassembly for engine work or transport. This plate pairs with Dzus fasteners to provide a reliable and efficient solution for automotive applications. Its design is particularly beneficial for those who frequently modify their vehicles or require quick access to engine components.
