PinewoodScout Posted January 29, 2023 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted January 29, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Also, make sure you give yourself a good shim or washer on the other side of the webbing to help the rivet grab properly. If you make yourself a little washer out of leftover plastic, 1/2" or so, that should help lock in that rivet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aradun Posted January 31, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
