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) Last edited by cantankrs; 06-09-09 at 05:16. Reason: Adding more

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.

Rivets
Thanks Ron, Lyn, and Alex,
I found some a few weeks ago at a saddlery, they seem fine untill you try to open the arms up and they simply snap off, made in China I guess, that was the only reason that I had asked for copper ones I thought that they be less prone to snap, I have used the old Aust ones for many years and never had this problem of them breaking off, So i guess that I will just have to keep looking,its marvelous I seem to have no problem finding the large scarce as rocking horse S,,t parts but a simple thing like a rivet?? Thanks guys, Regards Ron
