Where to get rivet dies?
« on: September 28, 2015, 07:14:35 PM »
I have finally built a rivet press
I did buy 1 inch rivet dies from PinRestore (years ago) but I need the longer 2 ¼ dies
http://www.pinrestore.com/Riveting.html


Can I buy these in Australia,
Or, is anyone buying from PinRestore soon?

Thanks
Pete
