Lost rivets on Brooks B-73
Werehatrack wrote: Conventional rivets are not hard to get; leather supply places carry the rivets and the tools. If you live in an area with a lot of horses, take the saddle to a place that does tack repair; they'll probably replace those rivets in a few minutes for not too high of a cost. A "place" that does canvas work might also do the job. In rural western Canada there are "canvas works" that do repairs on canvas "belts" used on some harvesting and bailing machines that use canvas. They use copper rivets - or at least used to over 10 years ago when I last saw such work done. |

I lost my saddle nose rivets and now I have an inelegant zip tie holding the saddle onto the nose piece. Suggestions for a real fix? Are rivets available? Are they installable? Brooks sell spares for their saddles, including springs, rails, and rivets. In the United States, they're available from Wallingford: http://www.wallbike.com/brooks/partsandaccessories.html http://www.wallbike.com/accessories/rivets.html though I expect any Brooks dealer could obtain them. I can't offer advice on fitting them, never having had to do so. James Thomson |
