#1 Instrument brass rivets

Post by ollieoscarsid » Sat Feb 08, 2020 9:57 am

Hi, does anyone know if you can get the little brass rivets that hold the blue diffuser lenses onto the cases please, also the ones that hold the reflectors into indicator bodies too. Thanks.

You could call Speedograph Richfields in Nottingham and ask them.

I just use glue for the coloured lenses and normal 1/8" rivets for the indicators.

If Julian was happy to help here perhaps we could ask him to supply these rivers....I watched his staff build up new rear lights a few years back and looked in envy on the boxes of copper rivets they had for these...

Speedograph Richfields for sure.
They provided me some of them when I did review my Tachometer.
