Semi Tubular Rivets?

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

Has anyone found out the right size of rivet to replace ARAH arm pins? I would like to cast some arms but I would need the rivets to do so. I've searched http://www.rivetsinstock.com but don't know what I need.

Check that thread. Ronin lists a place there. Another option is casting your own as mentioned in that thread as well.

yeah...I think if you're going to go to the trouble of casting your own arms...you might as well cast rivits for them as well.

I would still need an uncrimped rivet to cast though.

http://www.microfasteners.com/catalog/s ... tegory=RVL is the site with the rivets.

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2977&hilit=rivets tells you how to remove a rivet. Then you can cast it in plastic or maybe get Ronin to send you a casted one or maybe the mold for it then you can cast them yourself.

Thanks, I ordered a couple to see if they will work. They were cheap enough that if they don't work its no big deal.

The rivets are the correct size, is there a clamping tool for these? I know there was a tool at rivetsnstock but I don't kow if it would be the right size.
