Rezablad3[TK] Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Can anybody tell me what size and type of snaps that were used in the films? And perhaps where to buy them. Im working on my RS and would like to go as screen accurate as possible. I know that they didnt use those heavy duty snaps. Any close up picture would be great. And im assuming that the belt (connecting to the ab), top left corner of the ab and the butt plate used the same type of snaps, correct? Thanks guys, any help would be appreciated, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezablad3[TK] Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Mathias to the rescue...... Thanks brother. Would you happen to know what the name and size of those snaps are? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 The name is Newey, as seen in picture two (main reason I posted it. Helmet is JoeR's ROTJ but snaps are the same as far as I know) As for the size, I'm actually not sure, but they are not very large. Probably between 1/2 and 2/3rd the size of a normal heavy duty snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I think that just the sizes as reported on the package. Think shoe sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskunky Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 No, not mm.newey's came in different sizes and the correct "Newey" sizes are 5 for the cap and 4 for everything else. They are not easy to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Be aware that you need a special setting tool for these. Your regular setting tools for most snaps will not work on these. They go together unlike all other snaps of similar style so the snaps are useless without the tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 These are the setting tools available on ebay but they are too big for the screen accurate snaps. I bought them as back ups to the ones I got with my Newey snaps but quickly found they ruined the snaps although they worked great on the larger ones I have. You might be able to get a local engineer to machine a set up for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
