Members 4wheeler4 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 16, 2014 i HAVE seen a website that did offer longer shank grommets. it's frustrating that i ca't think of where i saw it. i usually put it in favorites immediately. must let that one slip by. If you ever remember it, please post it as I am still searching. Quote
Members Trevor Posted December 16, 2014 Members Report Posted December 16, 2014 OK Ive read all the posts and this may be of some help. There is a crowd in Australia that I have just ordered and received some SP1 eyelets (Grommets) in nickel plate and these are the long shaft version. Ive have bought 500 myself and will find out the name of the company if you wish. I bought these from a supplier in Auckland who got them sent from the factory. Not sure of the name. Here are some pics of the eyelets so you can compare. Let me know if you want the name. Hope this helps Cheers Trevor "Way Down Under" Quote "Every Day Above Ground Is Good"

Thanks very much for all the great photos. Your time is appreciated Quote
Members Trevor Posted December 17, 2014 Members Report Posted December 17, 2014 You're welcome. when I found these (which was by accident) I was so excited. They are just what the leatherworker needs. Perfect for thicker leather and multiple layers of any material I guess. http://www.eyelets.com.au/index.php They don't show on the website that they make the long eyelets but Im pretty sure that's where these ones came from. Let me know if you cant get any sense from them and I will contact the guy I got them off. Cheers Trevor "Way Down Under" Quote "Every Day Above Ground Is Good"

raysouth Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Take a look at www.lordandhodge.com as they advertise brass grommets with extended, "luf". Hope this is of use. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. God Bless. Ray Quote
raysouth Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 Just placed an order yesterday, with Lord & Hodge, www.lordandhodge.com and they were very helpful. Ordered "0" size with 1/4" id and "luf" as follows: Standard at .174, Long Plain Washer at .215 and then the Special Plain Washer at .328. All are solid brass and prices were reasonable. Hope this is of use to some of you seeking longer grommets. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a superb New Year. God Bless. Ray Quote
Members 4wheeler4 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted December 25, 2014 Raysouth, That is the size I am looking for. I will call them on the 26th. Thank you very much!!! Merry Christmas to you. Quote
