Title: Saddle rivets
Post by: Thomas on September 15, 2017, 08:59:57 AM
Hi all! The leather rivets at the saddle tend to get loose when working on the Terry saddle. I already lost three connections and three other rivets are already entirely missing. Where can I get such rivets and/or how could they be connected not to lose them again?
Cherio, Thomas

It might be worth contacting one of the saddle restorers such as R.K.Leighton of Birminham. You can find him on http://www.rk-leighton.co.uk/ .
