Where To Get Press Studs

[alanrichey]

I need to drill out some of the presss studs (that the wet-weather gear clips onto) on the back of my Superspec to do some work on the fuel filler. I gather they are easy enough to replace but so far all I have found on E-Bay are self-tapping versions (See Item 221046648254) and picture, and I need pop rivet versions

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Lots on eBay under zips and fasteners.

Just looked, but not on lap top so unsure how to copy link using pad.

OK, just spent another 10 minutes on E-Bay looking at fasteners without success. I'll hang on until someone can give me a definte link

Try here:

 

Not a recommendation 'cos there are lots of other places but this is the last place I bought some from (cos they do long versions).

Thanks Nigel, that's a great suggestion. At least that way I can show them the car and make sure I get the right things. On E-Bay it's going to be guesswork

Hi , have you a caravan dealership near to you . This studs are used for fastening awning skirits onto caravans .

Cheers Neil.

Sizes are fairly standard. You can get them from most dressmakers shops on the high street.

[alanrichey]

Thanks for the advice. I may be seeming a bit dense here but having never done this before my problem is I have no idea how these are fastened. Most of the press studs I am seeing on the net/high street are either self tappers or require access to the back side to be squashed into position, These fasteners are on the carbon fibre back plate and appear to also be fastened through into the stainless steel chassis so I have no idea what the backside looks like or how you fasten them without access to the rear. I assume 'Woolies' will explain it to me.

The ones I used "pop riveted" to the car.

The mating halves where a 2 piece item that you put either side of the material and using the punch and die that was in the kit swaged them together.

got mine from Car builder solutions, they do them in staineless and std

Hi Al,

 

If you want to come across at the weekend I can show you how they are fitted. I have some spare ones in the garage. I have an mot booked for the tintop Saturday morning but will be around Saturday afternoon and Sunday.

 

Nigel.

[alanrichey]

Thanks, I'll give you a ring.

Hi Guys!

 

I'll have to ask Nigel to show me how to fit them too, when I come to fit my weather gear later in the year!!! Luckily, he's only just up the road!!!!

They are press studs.lots on e-bay, the part fitted to car comes as 2 piece but you don't use backing plate, just rivet in place.
