ABSTRACT:
A panel fastener having a bolt and a floating grommet assembly which assembly includes a grommet fixedly mounted in a hole in a panel and a spacer spaced from the grommet and swaged thereagainst and also against the bolt of the panel fastener. In this matter, the bolt may be held away from the panel, then pushed inwardly into the hole in the panel. The spacing between the grommet and the spacer allows for play between the bolt and the panel to compensate for misalignment between the bolt of the panel fastener and the receptacle to which it is to be fastened.
