Vinyl pad poppers

(1/2) > >>

gmac:
Anyone know a way of replacing the poppers from vinyl pads ? I have some Redline ones, but the popper heads are rusty, and need to make way for some shiny new ones, but I dunno how to get them off without damaging the pad.

Is it just a case of being careful with the drill ?

I don't even know where to get replacements from, but I'm guessing a sewing shop maybe ?

Cheers

Guy  :)

you will need an upholstery shop....
and the tool to fit them....which is like a punch and a dolly to back up the domed bit.....
i know cos my dad was/is an upholsterer and this used to be one of my sat morning jobs, making buttons or fitting pop-studs....all for a fiver per thousand...tight git
