Default custom Rivet snaps now available

ok folks having had to have a rivet snap made recently for my carrier, the chap that machined it for me has a pattern to make more... the snaps can be made to indevidual order and specification ie length, shank diameter... and form style... at present he has 3/8 button and 5/8 brazier (liverpool shallow) as per the outside of the carrier.

each snap is made out of high carbon tool grade steel and will be machined and polished before dispatch.

he is asking for £75 per snap would this interest anyone ? i have spent a year looking and you cant get the correct snaps now unless you are very very lucky indeed...... these can be posted worldwide as they are fairly light.

Cheers

Richard

PS i would not be making any profit on this at all the price asked covers materials, tooling and machinists time.

Hello Richard

Thanks for the post. I will have to work out the dimensions required but I would be interested and will get back to you in a little while.

Cheers

Hi Richard

Are these hand snaps or ones for an air hammer?

they are for a pneumatic hammer, but if they were needed as hand snaps they can be made to spec.
