Quick Attach Stud Swage Fitting? they look premo!! anyone use these ? do they hold?


I've used them on boats and they work, and they fail.
The biggest problem in the marine environment is dissimilar metals and salt air/water. Stainless to stainless is ok but stainless to other metals can be an issue and leed to failure.

I don't see this being a problem on a buggy. I do wonder how they hold up to the stress of a clutch. Theses studs are used most commonly for life lines and they don't get the constant pressure/release cycles the clutch gets.

Great thanks for the insight

McMaster Carr has these in many different variations, it looks like they would work well for our application but they are nearly $70
