Default Web strap

I seem to recall using the standard pattern 37 web strap when I was fitting out my 2 Pounder Carrier years ago.

They worked perfectly and looked the part.

Cheers
Phill

Default Water Bottle Covers

Hi all - thanks to a heads up from Ron I found an Aussie supplier of these things. Name is Kevin Willsson kevshome@netspace.net.au

$12.50 plus postage, $3.50 for one and $4.50 for two. I have bought three and they are great. Very snug fit. All you need to do is sew up the flap.

Bob

Default Rivets

Morning Bob,
Glad that you are pleased with the covers,only to glad to help,
Now my question is do any of our members have a contact for Copper Bifucated rivets? they were used to attach the felt type packing attached on the insides of the petrol tank support brackets, I have tried a few places and all I get is Duh what are they? guess I am showing my age, I was told some of the big hardware people have deleted them and will not stock them.
anyone out there have a source? thanks in advance,
Regards Ron

Default Bifurcated Copper Rivets

Hi Ron,

I just googled and found these in Aust http://www.maclace.com.au/product.ph...92&list_page=2
Saddlery or upholstery places possibly still use these. Finding them not nickel plated is probably hard these days. Shiny MMMMmmmmm!

Regards

Alex

(Note that it says assorted so various lengths I gather)

Default Bif rivets

Ron, I have some somewhere. They are original carrier parts, came in a little cotton bag with a carrier parts tag, and they ARE nickel plated.
