They pronounce them Zeus, but they spell them Dzus, after the fella who invented them in New York 80 years ago. But more importantly, thanks to Michael, as of this morning I now know that the bonnet fasteners on the OKA are not Dzus fasteners but are actually Bi-Fix fasteners... and this is deep and meaningful because I have finally come to the realisation that, unlike all the Dzus fasteners I have dotted over various vehicles, the bonnet fasteners on the OKA aren't meant to close with a quarter turn - they lock down with a straight push!



They are a quarter-turn-to-open, not close.

Now all the rest of you have probably been closing the bonnet properly forever, but because I've always been used to the Dzus quarter-turn-to-close fasteners, I've always tried to close the bonnet with a Dzus tool (or a big screwdriver), without ever stopping to look at what it was underneath the panel. And it's not a quarter-turn-to-close, and I never needed a tool. Talk about slow on the uptake.

Dzus also make some push-to-close fasteners, but they're not what I have on anything. Even on the OKA I use Dzus fasteners to attach the licence plates, because the front one gets swapped from the bullbar to a recovery gear box to a cooler rack regularly, and the rear one gets shifted from the usual spot to out on a bike rack occasionally. I got ones that need a hex drive to remove, to make it harder for the villains (from experience).
