I'm just trying to figure out how to fasten on the side windows. Previously I've used 5mm nuts and bolts, but I think there's a better solution. I've spotted some really nice looking fasteners on GT3 and GT4 Porsches.
I looked through some online catalogues for the Manthey Racing Cayman and spotted the drawing below. They're described as Cam-Lock fasteners. Can't find those exact ones though, does anyone know what they are and where to get them?

A little update from this weekend. I went to work on the car on Friday night (it lives at my parents' house an hour away) and spent the weekend working on the doors, getting them closer to the point the windows can be fitter and outer skins can be painted.
The first thing was to finalise the check straps, which my dad had a brilliant idea of using old lanyards for, so they can be released quickly.
He made these eyes up for me from solid aluminium. They screw into the hard points I'd already bonded in before I stuck both halves of the doors together.
I used old lanyards from work; Le Mans Series race at Donington Park in 200...8(?) maybe.
Next, I dragged out an old steel door so I could move some of the OEM rubber seals across onto my newly made doors and copy the positions nicely. Man this thing feels heavy!
Before the seals went on.
Then after
