Looking for corrosion-resistant fairing fasteners? Looking to save weight on your kit plane?

Mettec manufactures our titanium fasteners using the same processes used to make aircraft-quality NAS/AN/MS bolts. Titanium 6Al/4V ASTM B348 Grade 5 is suitable for use in non-structural locations to help improve corrosion resistance and to save weight on your plane when every ounce matters.

Mettec introduced two new head styles for non-structural locations. Our family of Titanium Button Head and 100 Degree Flat/Countersunk Torx Drive bolts (MT526TXXXXXX & TFHXXXXXX ) can replace AN526 pan heads for fairings, inspection covers, pulleys, and interior panel applications. These torx drive socket heads allow for more secure wrenching.

Note: Titanium fasteners are not recommended for structural locations such as wing mounts, horizontal and vertical tail structure mounts, engine mounts, or prop hub bolts.
