Brass Plated, Split Rivets: 7/8" long, Lot of 50 3/8" diam head5/32" diam shaft Really useful to have on hand. These can be used to secure banding, stays, straps or other trunk adornments. Placed in a pre-drilled hole, each of the two fork ends are peened over in opposing directions over a washer, then the tips are tapped into wood using a hammer, punch, and iron. A Split Rivet Cap can then be tapped into place over the split to cover it. It's important to use the correct length of rivet determined by the thickness of the trunk body. If the interior fork is too long there will be play, and if too short the fork will not drive far enough over the washer, into the wood and may loosen up over time. Available shaft lengths are 1/2", 5/8", 11/16" and 7/8" *See also "Split Rivet Cap".
