[Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola style Rack Clip Nuts
Have a look (obviously the stainless one is on the right): http://www.arcomcontrollers.com/clips.jpg I've not heard this model U, C, Clip Nut ever called a Tinnerman, but McMaster-Carr sells it as a Clip-Nut. As a general rule I believe Tinnerman Nuts are normally one sided. I call it a U-Style Clip-Nut and they are obviously available in many flavors. http://www.mcmaster.com/#clip-on-nuts/=8hn41l It's McMaster-Carr so hold on to your wallet... but they do have everything. And they won't send out a Paper Catalog unless you have a previously verified connection with some higher authority. So use their fairly decent on-line catalog... They also deserve credit for super fast shipping. cheers, s.

I agree with Skip. I always considered Tinnerman nuts as a one-sided unit, often used a few years back in the automotive industry. They also called them speed nuts.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola style Rack Clip Nuts
I once worked in the aftermarket autosound industry, where springy, one-sided blind nuts were used to mount speakers in places you couldn't see. They were supposed to catch on the lip of the speaker frame to keep from spinning, but it was easy to misalign them when you couldn't see what you were doing, so they'd spin, creating a significant hazard to fingers. They were also called Jesus nuts by my coworkers, probably named in a spontaneously outburst by some guy who was about to need a tetanus shot. 73, Paul, AE4KR - Original Message - From: Chuck Kelsey To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 2:47 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola style Rack Clip Nuts I agree with Skip.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola style Rack Clip Nuts
We used a similar name for the Tinnerman nuts we used on aircraft. I can't imagine WHY somebody would think it was a good idea to use hardware like that in places where you CANNOT afford to drop something and leave it behind (like an aircraft instrument panel or throttle quadrant)! We called snap rings and 'E'-clips 'Jesus Clips' because when they flew off the fastener at a high rate of speed, you always said 'Jesus. where the hell did that thing go?'
