Help finding a snap
Help finding a snap
(OP)
Description: Male snap end like found on boat covers. Secured w/ a phillips head machine screw into a threaded and tapered sleeve that is pressed into a pre-drilled hole. The male end snaps are about 1/4" OD.
I'm missing several on a custom car cover and would like to just replace all the snaps and replace the whole fastener on the missing ones. Other than the obvious places such as a local hardware store and marinas, any other ideas where I might find such a specialty fastener?
Thanks.

Might try truck accessory stores where they would be used for tonneau covers.

Sorry about jumping to the obvious.
Sounds like you could use something like a Rivnut from AVK or Bollhoff that is placed in a hole and drawn up to clinch itself into the metal. See <www.bollhoff-rivnut.com>.
