For Sale: Rivet snaps (being produced)

[RichardT10829]

Hey folks, this may interest any carrier restorers out there or anyone else faced with the task of riveting a project.

I have been able to find a chap to produce the correct shape snaps for re riveting carriers.

I have recently re riveted my own carrier and the finish has turned out nice, so I thought I would share.


The snap sets consist of three snaps machined from high carbon steel which is then aged in a furnace to harden them further. The three snaps are 3/8 Liverpool truss (the flat faces which are on the outside of the armour) 3/8 button head, and the slightly smaller button head for the rivets located on the central bulkhead.

The set costs £130 for the three, or they can be produced on an individual basis for £50 / snap.
