While I am too lazy to look up the parts catalogue, I cannot tell you which fasteners your DA20 uses. But replacing them means taking the old ones out, so there is only a hole left where you can install any kind of fastener which suits the hole diameter. Some people on our forum exchanged the stock fasteners for stainless ones.

Kai,
Yes hopefully someone will jump in with the part numbers for the SS replacements.

Thanks again.

Andrew.

The fasteners on the A1 and C1 cowlings are Camloc brand. You should be able to order SS replacements from one of the various parts houses like Aircraft Spruce. I assume there would be no issue shipping them to Barbados.

Your best bet is to contact Diamond directly with your serial number/tail number and have them verify the part numbers used on your particular airplane. Then check Aircraft Spruce for the SS equivalents. The IPC is not always accurate, especially for the A1 models of the DA20.
