Members harnessman Posted November 1, 2009 Members Report Posted November 1, 2009 Hi All Some time back I saw some rivets that had a flower pattern head on them. I am pretty sure they were tubular rivets but I can not locate a source. Anyone out there know where these are available? I am using standard brass tube rivets to hold keepers on and the flower heads would sure dress them up a lot. Thanks Jim Quote
Members iwannabeacowboy Posted November 1, 2009 Members Report Posted November 1, 2009 I had bought some from Tandy that were double cap rivets with flower design on them, Maybe 5 months ago. Last week I bought some screw posts with flower design,real cheap. https://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Hardware/Rivets/1360-076.aspx?feature=Product_4 https://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Hardware/Screw-Posts/1390-082.aspx?feature=Product_1 Charlie Quote

However the heads on those are to large for what I need, they would look clunky. The head on a standard tube rivet would be perfect, which is what I use now, I am just looking for somethings a little more decorative than the plain flat brass head of a tube rivet. Thanks Jim Quote
