Post by Nick Anderson »

Can anyone let me know the exact type(name, i.e blind, tubular, etc . . .)of rivet that was on the the older MSA Design?

Where can you get this type of rivet?

Looking at a MSA finger here, it appears to be a hollow rivet with a flat head. It appears to be brass but I would suggest Stainless Steel.You can get them at most Hardware stores for around 20 cents ea. Get the 3/16 by 1/4 in long.A washer should be placed before you "Pound" it in. A bolt etc rounded can serve as the "Spreader" so that you get the flange. Hope this helps.Ed Naylor Steel Guitar Works.

Get a brake rivet at an automotive brake shop.
