Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted October 22, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted October 22, 2007 Ed, I'm not familiar with that rivet, but I have never had a problem with any of the rivets or snaps that I have used. My belief is, if it has a stud that has to be expanded to create the securing of the rivet or snap, the length is in most cases the length of the stud is made to accomodate more than one thickness of material. Thus, cutting it down to a shorter length will not harm or take away from the strength. Just be careful you don't cut off to much. I will always do a few "Test" ones just to be sure.

esantoro Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 I just tried two. It seemed to work marvelously. I cut a 12 mm post down to either 11 or 10 with my edge cutters and didn't have to use a leather washer, and I didn't get a resulting crooked set. Thanks, guys. Now I can use my 12mm posts for more applications and don't have to go out and buy the 10mm ones. do these posts actually flare out into the cap head , or do they simply expand inside of the cap post, but not the head?
