Where to find aluminum riveted rings?

Post by Steve S. »

I have an aluminum riveted hauberk that needs repair. The rings appear to be 3/8" ID and made from 16 GA wire. Only the ends are flattened and they use round rivets.

Does anyone know a source for rings and rivets?

Try GDFB they have 8mm rings with round rivets at $32
Icefalcon may also have them, though all I see on the webpage are the shirts in aluminum.

It's not my shirt, it's a friend who wants me to fix it.

I have tried Icefalcon, they don't have them.

I'll try GDFB.
