Brattie[TK] Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) OMG the BEST Part of my day today was looking at a Guy and asking about "Split Rivets" and him looking at me like I had 5 heads.. and then after he asked 8 other guys someone pipes up and says "oh yeah.." He describes what I'm looking for and how they work and then advises "we don't carry those but you might try yadda yadda yadda.. " and the 9 other guys then looked at me like I was some goddess for knowing something about tools and rivets they didn't know.. THANK YOU STAR WARS UNIVERSE!!! +1 win for the Ladies!!!

Knockerbot[501st] Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 If your princess auto is like the Scarborough one they don't have it. That'd why I ended up at home Depot and buying the suspended ceiling wire.<br><br> Also the split rivets, you went to a hardware store didn't you? I think they are only used in leatherworking.

ComradeDave[TK] Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 If you're still looking for rivets I bought my cen rivet set for less than ten bucks CAD from Justjoseph here on FISD. They're vetted and the real deal! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34902-centurion-level-rivet-sets-for-sale/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brattie[TK] Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) BUILD UPDATE Alright.. my FINGERS HURT... But I did it!!! Stick that in your Bolt and pull it! Here is an update on the binders... Binders still need sanding.. I can't find the stuff people keep talking about that's like a putty to smooth the corners into the magnets.. those are the smallest you can get in Canada that are rectangle btw... anyway.. I know there's JB weld.. which is an apoxy but it just doesn't look like the same putty kinda stuff I see others using... Any ideas? Anyway.. giving some time to figure that out then sanding and painting.. then Foam.. I have it already..

TK21029[TK] Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Here's a photo of us using them on the right. As ANH we really shouldn't have these type but they just work so well. I have brass binders I use for my ANH that is accurate for ANH.

Brattie[TK] Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I finished cleaning up a work space for when I get my armor, and am thinking of some sort of other mods to my armor transport. Just need stuff to keep on moving. Binders are coming and I guess I will get the Disney ones for fun later on, not that anh used em though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
