GT48 Quick Release Bodywork Fastener

What is the GT48 Bodywork Fastener system?

The GT48 Bodywork Fastener system provides a lightweight, aerodynamic solution for securely joining bodywork panels laterally. Developed with professional motorsport in mind, the GT48 combines proven design features with practical installation and dependable performance, making it an ideal quick release bodywork fastener for competition and high-performance road cars.

Designed to transfer loads between two adjoining sections across three axes, the GT48 quick release bodywork fastener is suitable for a wide range of bodywork applications. The fasteners are manufactured from steel, providing an excellent balance of strength, weight and cost efficiency. Each fastener is then galvanised to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and long-term durability, even in demanding environments.

Ease of use is central to the GT48 design. The large finger well allows the butterfly latch to be operated quickly and easily, even while wearing racing or workshop gloves. A butterfly locking mechanism provides additional security, helping to prevent accidental release and ensuring panels remain firmly secured during use.

As well as offering reliable panel retention, the GT48 Bodywork Fastener helps maintain clean, aerodynamic bodywork lines without compromising accessibility. Its compact, motorsport-inspired design makes it a practical choice for race cars, track builds and fast road cars where both performance and appearance matter.

Whether you’re replacing conventional panel fixings or looking for a dependable quick release bodywork fastener for a new build, the GT48 delivers secure fastening, rapid access and proven motorsport-inspired performance.

What performance benefits do these fasteners provide?

• • Drag Reduction: The quick release fasteners are mounted flush with the body panels which provides a noticeable drag reduction compared to other fastening solutions.
  • Quick release operation: The GT48 fastener system is derived from professional motorsport, giving the ability to mount and dismount body panels in seconds.
  • Enhanced Safety: Utilizing a butterfly latch design, the GT48 fastener system is impossible to come undone on it’s own.
