Superkav Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 For the top front right of the abdomen and for double crotch snaps are these ok?. They're 15mm but I've seen different kinds on varied threads that look a smaller size. Can anyone clarify please? I'm getting near to where I can apply them and I don't want to get it wrong.

Superkav Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Doh. I've been all over the photo section this morning too! Thank you (hangs head in shame) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 25, 2014 by Superkav Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Yes those snaps are fine for the male ones that show on the Ab and butt/crotch area. The other fasteners on the ab and kidney need to be solid head split rivets and on the thigh attachment a solid head cap/speed rivet Quote
Superkav Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Posted March 14, 2014 I have all the split and double head rivets, lucky old stock in the imperial sizes are abundant in the UK. Newey snaps however are as rare as rocking horse poo. Luckily Prym 'Jersey' snaps are identical, apart from not having 'Newey England' stamped on the back. They also do an identical fastener for the elastic too Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
