PinewoodScout Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Can anyone send a picture of the rivets on the belt connecting the plastic? I know it is a 3mm rivet but I am unsure of what style.
Chopper Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Hi, these are the rivets you should be looking for: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/fastening-tools/rivets/2014041?store=16714&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGJeVuTTk2MBfU8bN5tqhKElm_laoCCP73A-yxRO9NpvqeB1BlSvaSAaAmM5EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds 2

Aradun Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 You definitely want to do a set up similar to the Duke’s above. Just using the small metal washer alone will result in failure over time because the stress on the belt will eventually pull the washer through the fabric. Adding the plastic abs backing will alleviate that issue. 2
