Lobo Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 Does anyone know of a source for the "male" part (see pix) of Pull the Dot snaps? The set up shown uses a standard male snap stud set with a machine screw to a T-nut mounting in the holster. I use #6-32 machine screws in 5/16" and 3/8" lengths with three-pronged T-nuts threaded for #6X32. Check out boltdepot.com for supplies at pretty reasonable prices when ordered in lots of 100, 1000, etc. Otherwise you can experiment with a few from your local hardware retailer. Quote

What I want are about 3 dozens male studs like the one with the circle around it. I've come up short and the 1000s of male Line 24s I have on hand are to big for the Pull the Dot snaps I have one hand. I can work the Line 24s down with emery cloth but it hardly worth the time unless I'm in a real jam. Somewhere on LW I think I saw a source; it was years ago, probably before one of the crashes; at least I couldn't find it. Again thanks for reply. Bill Thanks Lobo.

Phatdaddy Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) One thread I've seen listed them as being available direct. http://www.dotfasten...ll_the_dot.html Hope it helps. I'm unsure. Kevin edit* looking closer, you can get just the males but apparently only by the 100s Edited August 8, 2012 by Phatdaddy Quote
