Insect pins??
Hi all, I have come across 2 seperate build diaries (both Japanese) that have the plastic rivets sanded off and replaced with insect pins. I understand what they are and can find a source on the net for them....but has anybody here used them and they come in several sizes so which one do I use (I have not found a source for them locally as of yet to compare the sizes) I think this is a cheaper way to go han buying Sakatsu rivets. Thanks.

Re: Insect pins??
You should consider the scaleracecars.com P/E fastener set, it comes with a ton of stuff and is really good value for what it contains in my opinion.

Re: Insect pins??
I agree with FRay...the SRC set can't be beat for the price...

No offense but I am looking for rivets and not fasteners. I see no rivets on the SRC sheets at all. I can get 100 insect pins for about $8.00 Cdn. The SRC stuff is $6.50 US plus shipping, plus customs, and tax (and anytime I look there is nothing in stock)
hueb_s here is one of the links TS020 build You will need to translate it and I have to find the other link it was a month or so ago when I saw it. Edit: I think it was here that I saw it kims house garage

Good point about the cost+shipping to Canada. Currently the CA Postal system SUCKS WRT N.A.
Instead of just hitting on the "insect pins" catchphrase, why not drop by a Hobby Lobby type business? In the sewing dept. they have a HUGE selection of all types of pins, inc. the type I THINK you're actually looking for (round head, used to attach the various Toyota GTOne's body panels). If not, then I have no idea what I'm talking about...;-)> Of course, the actual car did NOT use rivets (as rivets are semi-permanent attchement devices and do not allow for the removal of body panels). hth, Bill
