Abstract

A removable blind fastener comprising a first member (10) having an elongate body (11) with a head (12) at one end, a second member (20) adapted for axial movement relative to the first member, the second member having a threaded aperture (25) and at least one adjustable finger (22), the adjustable finger having a flange remote from the head of the first member and the finger being within the circumference of the hollow body of the first member in the first position of the adjustable finger and the flange extends beyond the circumference of the hollow body of the first member in the second position of the adjustable finger. Rotation of a threaded member (30) in a first direction causes axial movement of the second member relative to the first member in a clamping direction.
