Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some of these fasteners that attach my targa strut to the brackets. Female half shown below, the male half has a screw thread and the same rivet head. I've looked at the usual supplier web sites but can't find any reference to them.

Cheers

Have had a closer look at the remaining pins and they appear to be nothing more than some 6mm aluminium tube (1mm wall thickness) held in place by pop rivets at each end. Easy to replicate.

Cheers

I don't want to put a hard thread in the pivot points as this will increase wear on the softer strut material. I will look further into something like a 6mm shouldered screw with M5 thread and dome ends or 6mm Ali tube and put a M4 screw with suitable ends through it for location.
