Weird hardware - need to find a supplier urgently


Recommended Posts

I have an order for these items but need to find a supplier for the strange 'post-like' fitting with the press stud / snap on top that holds the paper pads in place. Has anyone seen anything like it before? Does anyone know what it is called? Most important of all - where can I get some?

Thanks for your help guys!

Ohio Travel Bag has something similar but perhaps bigger. Look around their website, as it is listed in the catalog on the bottom of p.23

It does look similar, Ed - but sadly it ain't the same thing at all. I checked out Ohio Travel bag's catalog and website but had no success there.

The thing I need is like a 3/4" post with a male snap fitting on the end...

Thanks anyway fella. That was most kind.

R,

To me the pic is hard to tell what the top part looks like,but im going to take a stab at it.++

It looks like those fasteners used on older WW2 style ammo belts/pouches?

If so, Seattle Fabrics has them, and they use the nomenclature "lift the dot fasteners" but im thinking you should be able to find a euopean supplier?

i tried to attach a pic, but no go.

Riding is a partnership. The horse lends you his strength, speed and grace, which are greater then yours. For your part you give him your guidance, intelligence and understanding, which are greater then his. Togeather you can achieve a richness that alone neither can.

I really wish it was, Ed - but that thing is a 'lift the dot fastener' (thanks $$hobby) used for clipping down tonneau covers on boats and sports cars. It is fitted onto the fabric of the cover and then clips onto a post that is fastened to the metal or fibre-glass of the boat or vehicle.

The thing I'm looking for has got a post you can drop a pad of paper over and then clip a snap down on top of the post to hold it in place. I guess that (without any paper) there is around 1/2 inch of exposed post when the top clip is on.

could something like this work?

I'm wondering if you look in "unlikely places" if you won't find that snap doing some other "job"

say scrapbooking....
