Members ruthless Posted March 24, 2009 Members Report Posted March 24, 2009 I'm looking for some heavy duty double cap brass rivets [not gilt] with a 10mm post. Preferably from an Australian supplier. I've tried Birdsalls and Leffler already. Quote

esantoro Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 The solid brass Jiffy rivets from Ohio Travel Bag are made in Belgium. What about solid brass Chicago screws? ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Members ruthless Posted March 25, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2009 Are Chicago screws as strong as rivets? I was told they're not. I'm making heavy duty dog collars, so I want to use the strongest materials. Quote
Members tonyc1 Posted March 25, 2009 Members Report Posted March 25, 2009 I'm sure the screws would be a better bet than 2 piece rivets,Ruth. Tony. Quote
Members Daggrim Posted March 25, 2009 Members Report Posted March 25, 2009 Screw posts (Chicago screws) would be much tougher than the rapid rivets, but more time consuming to install, and more expensive. Dag Quote
esantoro Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 I would say that the Chicago screws are stronger than rapid, jiffy, and tubular rivets. Put red locktite on the threads (I've used only the blue thus far) and I don't see how they would ever come apart. ed The Chicago screws from WEaver are about the same price as the Jiffy rivets from anywhere, roughly $15 for 100. Less if you by about 5000. ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Members ruthless Posted April 6, 2009 Author Members Report Posted April 6, 2009 I never did manage to find any H/D double capped solid brass rivets. I'll settle for non heavy duty ones. Does such a thing exist? Quote
Members tonyc1 Posted April 6, 2009 Members Report Posted April 6, 2009 I've never found any solid brass rapid rivets, only brass plated ones. Tony. And if you find some Ruth, please let me know. Tony. Quote
