Hello TechNet, In another life we used temporary fasteners (spring clips), to pre assemble sheet metal and hold the panels in place while installing rivets. I think these clips were originally designed for installing skins during aircraft assembly. I believe these clips were made by Kleco and that is also what we called them, "Kleco spring Clips". Has anyone else had experience with this type of temporary hardware and can supply a source? I want to use this application as temporary hardware to secure edge connectors, battery clips, etc... to PCA's during the wave solder operation. Thanks in advance for your input and advise.
