Stainless Rivets

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer that makes stainless double cap rivets similar in size to the Ohio Travel Bag 510/512D? Even if its just the skin on the cap that's stainless and the posts are mild steel.

And any manufacturers of the imitation roller buckle, Weaver Leather #923, in stainless?

The nickel plating in recent years tarnishes too quickly.

Mcmaster Carr carries these Stainless Steel Rivets, but I don't know if they will work for your application.

They may be more expensive, but when you want to make a quality product you don't use inferior parts.

I am surprised the nickel is tarnishing. It was used for brightwork on cars before chrome was in widespread use. Is it having a reaction to the leather, or leather finish?
