Who sells them? I need to repair/modefy my aventail.

To the top

I have a lot of 9mm flattened stainless rings with round headed rivets. I have no leads for round wire riveted loose rings in stainless.
(altering hauberks is fun!....not)

What size & how many? I have a few left from on old project that might work. Even have the rivets with them.

I need 9mm ID. The ones already in the aventail are slightly larger than that (10-11mm), but it's not enough of a difference for me to worry about, as long as it's close.

I have several moths holes to fill, a couple I can put a finger through, and I need to fill in a gap the previous owner put in the front. It's a triangle about 4 inches wide, about 3 inches deep. If possible, I'd like to put a couple triangles up the temples as well. So quite possibly, I'd need all you have.

I could use a few dozen flat stainless rings. I need to do a lot of repairs to my welded Ti aventail. I have been making my own rings, but flattening & punching them is a pain.

flat stainless 9mm w/rivets are $2.50+ ship for a pack of 50 (You actually get 55. the 5 extra are in case you mess-up or there are any bad ones). Shipping is about $1 upto about 10 packs (500 links).
Email me if you want more than 10 packs.
I include some 16 ga galvenized wire so you can make your own rivets, rather then try to peen those rivetos Diablos they come with.
The galvenized wire fits the holes perfectly. Just nip off about 3-4mm length with some pliars and us a pair of long pliars with shallow divets on the jaw to crimp them solid.
I can do paypal, checks or money order.

Looks like I have about 40 rings and a couple linked patches of a dozen or so rings each. They are in the 10-11mm size range. You're welcome to them if they will help.

That's awesome. That will definitely help me fill the holes. I'll PM for the details.
