Speedy/easy replacement for wing nuts

This is more specific to my UTV than my tractor but I am trying to find a replacement for the 4 wing nuts and screws that hold the battery cover on. In my mind there must be something like the clamps on my tractor's air filter where it is as simple as flipping a piece of metal in the opposite direction to release. I thought of using a hairpin and bolt but I am thinking that is going to be too lose of a connection. The wing nut holds the top down tight. I would need something similar.

Don't know about flipping levers but I've heard of Squeeze to Release. Cymbal Nuts come to mind but I'm sure there must be others.

Oh. That could work if they hold tight. I imagine they would since they need to gold cymbals in place. Thanks!

You squeeze these to install on a stud or bolt. You still have to turn them a little to tighten. And to take them off, you'll have to turn them to loosen enough to squeeze the buttons.
