Thanks Keith,

I checked my SI at the weekend and found it was 12 rivets (back to rivet counting again.....).

I have 'orders' for 12 off plus I need 3 myself (plus spares for the next project I haven't found yet !)

I'll order 20mtrs and 240 rivets. Each tape will come with 12 rivets.

Thanks for doing this Colin. I know its a hassle sorting out these bulk buys with packing, posting etc.
How will we pay, Direct Deposit?

For the benefit of Qlders more than others I guess, I picked mine up at "The Rubber Shop" or some such place at South Pine Rd in Enoggera a couple of years back.
It was originally black but after I soaked it in bleach it went back to its original lighter colour.

Plus Bank charges for an International transaction.....

Once I have the parts, have cut the strip into 1m lengths counted out the rivets figured out the postage costs etc. I'll let you know payment details.

Just phoned the UK & placed an order for 20mtrs & 240 rivets.
More news when it arrives and I have the price confirmed (i.e. how much the bank has skimmed off the deal).
Virtually all 20mtr is allocated.

Bonnet Strip has arrived.
Rivets counted out, strip cut, ready to ship. those of you that expressed interest will already have a PM.

12 rivets per 1 mtr strip which is perfect for a Series I and gives you a couple of spare bifurcated rivets on a Series II, IIa and III.
Rivets are copper not plated steel.

Feedback is good so far (there's always an element of nervousness when buying for others).

When cut, the thicker parts show a white filling. I'm going to dye with some wood stain (a texter would probably do just as well) when dry I'll seal the end with varnish. The reason is that I have a number that have unraveled at the ends.

I'm just modifying an eyelet tool that has replaceable anvils so that I can make a neat job of installing the BIF rivets.

one fitted and it all went very well

used phillip head screw drivers to make the holes

used bondcrete on the ends of mine...

well done!

My tapes arrived yesterday.
Thanks Colin, they look good but havnt had time to fit one to the Royal yet.
Superglue is good to seal against fraying too.
