Turnbuttons for soft top, need replacement

[gringeltaube]

Anyone ever found good replacements for those little turnbutton studs holding the soft top (6 on ea.side)? (If..... that mini-spring inside was stainless they sure would last longer....!)

Gerhard,

I have purchased these before from one of the canvas vendors at the MV shows. I think it was WEEBEE webbing.

If you only need a few, perhaps some take-offs will do...think junk yard..

McMaster-Carr carries some, although the ones I bought had the wrong size stud on them. I do believe they might carry the right ones.

Thanks everybody for the good tips!
I would need just a few now but would like to buy enough for 5+ trucks in the near future.

Bjorn: no way to find even one good one locally. They are all shot, after over 40 years...!

Tom: Bjorns picture shows the correct model. Is it that what you have?

Tks again!

Wow! Great selection! Thanks for the hint, greensix. I didn't know there existed so many different models. Seems to be a wholesaler though.

A had already placed my order at Weebee (Dave Pizzoferrrato). His service was prompt and agreeable. Regarding quality I will report back once I got his stuff, prob. two weeks.

I got my replacement ones from Weebee Webbing when I redid my deuce a few years back, and they were exactlly like the ones I took off except that they were not all worn out. They have held up fine also.
