Sealsniper33 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I just ordered a box of 100 nickel plated split rivets. They should be in later this week. If any one in the States needs any I'll be more than willing to send you some. I'll do this till they are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealsniper33 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 So I got the rivets I ordered in... They were too small. I guess I ordered a size down. No worries I re-ordered the correct size and will have them by the 5th. So no worries guys they are coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beast05 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I need both split and nickel if possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Nasty Fester Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Will these work for the ammo boxes on the lower right thigh or is that a different rivet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Robert that would work but usually I use a standard rivet with a washer behind for that one. The split rivets are hard it install at that location usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Apologies if this is common knowledge, but where does one use split rivets on the costume? I'm going to be doing upgrades and I'm researching what I need. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be doing upgrades and I'm researching what I need. Thanks. TK2311, No problems. For higher level accuracy: 8 mm split rivets are used to connect the ab and kidney plate on the left side. They are also used on the cod armor piece, so a total of 7 split rivets; 6 for the ab/kidney plate and 1 for the cod piece. The right thigh ammo pack uses two 7.4mm cap rivets.

All I really know are pop rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks for the clarification. So if my ab and kidney plates don't come together, than is this where the shim comes into play? If so, the shim get s connected to the ab and kidney plates via these rivets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I went through some build threads in the Police Officer and SWAT sections. I see how it works now for the kindey/ab plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSword Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I found two types of rivets on Trooperbay. Are these correct and if so, which rivets go where? http://trooperbay.com/accurate-nickle-split-rivets-and-washers/ http://trooperbay.com/2-inch-fasteners-and-washers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The ones in the top link are not accurate and there are no rivets showing in the second link. The accurate rivets are brass with 6mm legs and use M4 brass washers (which I have by the way). There are 3 per side on the left hand side of the abdomen and kidney plates. The last rivet is used in the crotch making 7 in total. No other split rivets anywhere on the armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
