Turtle84 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Ok, I know I saw this item somewhere floating around on the forums I just cannot remember where. I saw these little pins that are used with manilla envelopes. They are goldish in color and straight. However they have two prongs and each prong bends. I am looking around town for them but have been unsuccessful at the moment. I was thinking about looking online but obviously I would need to know what they are called first. Thanks Quote
Jorran Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 I found mine at Office Depot. http://www.officedepot.com/catalog/search.do?Ntt=brass+fasteners&cm_mmc=Google-_-NB_OfficeSupplies_Basics_E-_-Basics_Fasteners-_-Brads_33957815 Quote
Hedjii72 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Brass Fasteners, and I got mine at Staples. http://www.staples.com/OIC-1-Brass-Fastener-3-8-Head/product_378814 Quote
Turtle84 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Posted October 4, 2011 Great thanks guys. Unfortunately there isn't an office depot around Allegany County. Walmart would be my best bet. Closest one has to be about an hour away. Quote
TK_LEPER Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Staples, Meijer, Target, Walmart ... you get them in the Office section. Quote
TrooperVenger Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 You mean split pins that are use to attach pieces of paper together/ Like in school? Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 and which is the correct size for them? Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 They are used on the left side of the torso, to join the ab and kidney plate per Centurion requirements. Actual split rivets are both sturdier and screen-accurate, but these are "close enough" and much easier to find. Mine are 3.8" diameter head with 1" legs, exactly as the Staples link Andy provided - with a white coat of paint on them. Quote
bobojuice Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I have some pretty nice split rivets I can send your way. PM me with your info and I'll try to get them to you. Quote
TK-4510[501st] Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Which is more accurate 1/2 inch or 3/8?? 3/8 seems a little big. Do you have any screen shots??? Quote
troopermaster Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Do you mean the head size? I have found the correct rivets but I can't remember the exact size off the top of my head. I can measure them tomorrow for you though. Quote
troopermaster Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 I just checked them and the head size is 5/16". Quote
TK-4510[501st] Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks man. All I can find locally are 1/2 inch so they will be close enough. I will keep my eyes peeled for 5/16 though Quote
troopermaster Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 If you want some Mike just PM me your address and I'll send you some Quote
