Press Studs

[pfreeman]

Anyone know of any shop I can go to in London to buy press studs !!!

 

Not finding it easy to find.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul.

These are for your car rather than your pants I assume?

 

Not sure if they stock them but you could try Mr Fastner (http://www.mr-fastner.com/).

Try woolies (Woolstenholmes not Woolworths) for all your trimming needs.

I ended up popping down to Caterham !!

I ordered 12 various through Caterham parts a few weeks ago .... they arrived in 2 days and were only a couple of pence each . NOTE the ones for side screens etc have longer centers, due to the thicknessof material they pass through ,than any I could find in craft shops etc

Try John Lewis' haberdashery dept at Brent Cross. They also do a huge range of velcro in various widths.

Just had the footwell carpets out for cleaning, and it had been some time since I last did that. On the L they all unpopped nicely. On the R I had to lever each one apart and they all had some white crud inside.

Now I can't get any of them to click down. 

Any tricks or advice before I replace them? I have a multimeter and wiring diagram but they don't seem to help.

Thanks

Thanks x2.

But I was looking for a way to make them play nicely so that i don't have to replace them.

FWIW, I've found that in certain places, e.g. the boot cover, those neodymium magnets are an excellent alternative.  I bought a size that fits inside the female half of the popper, i.e. the half that fixes to the boot cover material itself, secured it in there with a dab of Araldite and then fixed some inside the boot, again with Araldite (you need to make sure the polarities are right, obviously ...!).  It works a treat ...

Anyway, FWIW ...

This sounds like the heavy solution. Only with attention to the detail you get the ultimate...
