I have an aluminum faceplate that mounts to a chassis and I don't want
any fasteners to appear on the front surface of the faceplate.

I'm after a nice clean look.

This chassis will mount in the wall.

I've looked everywhere (you name it fastenal, specialty hardware
places etc), for a type of fastener that I could use that would allow
me to PUSH this faceplate into some chassis holes and have it stay
there with a sturdy grip.

Then, if you want to remove the faceplate, you grip from behind and
PULL it out.

It sounds simple, but believe it or not there isn't anything out
there.

The closet thing I've seen with potential are plastic "pine tree"
fasteners.

The aluminum faceplate is also pretty thin -- just 3/16" thick.

Any help? thanks

can you epoxy super magnets to it, then have it stick to something behind
it? choosing different magnets would give a strong/weak bond.
