Hollow rivet and bail wanted for other mod spares
on: March 26, 2015, 03:36:28 PM
I need about an inch of hollow rivet to complete an exciting (for me) mod. Also, a bail from an SI would be great too.

I have the following on offer:



The awl is the only thing not available. Otherwise there is a set of alox scales (small mark near the shield), 2 sets of nylon 84mm scales and a cellidor set inscribed 'GAVIN', a Wenger 93mm blade from an SI, as well as the opener layer, though the CO has been modded to a Screwdriver. There are 2 alox backsprings as well.

Let me know what you want for a trade.  :salute:

I can drill you some brass rod and you can give it a go, and send you a couple of 6" lengths of Ø1.5mm stainless wire to make your own bail.  Swap for the springs if you want to trade.

You're on! Excellent!

Sure you just want the springs? I have no need for the rest really.

I'm pretty sure I still have your details but I'll let you know if I don't.

And no hurry for the rod, just as and when.  :salute:

Just the springs would be fine.  Spares are handy, and I've got plenty of the other bits.

Measure the thickness of the knife, including the scales so I can make the tube no longer than it needs to be.  Drilling too deep a hole can be tricky, so if I make them as short as I can it'll help.

I've still got your (new) address - I'll send the stuff there. :tu:

Cool  :tu:

The knife is 14mm thick including the scales.

I appreciate this - Cheers  :salute:

Are you just drilling deep enough for the bail to fit? Hollow brass is too soft to use

Was going to drill 1.8mm diameter through to make a tube with 0.6mm thick walls.  What happens to the brass? Hollow brass threaded pivots seem OK.
