Can anyone tell me where I might source trim pop rivets to fit "snap on" chrome strips with a 1/4inch (6.25mm) slot in the back? I have searched the internet, but the nearest I can find are from Vintage Supplies for a 5.25mm slot. I don't think they would serve.

I did find this site I was unaware of. They have tools I did not know existed and a vast list of difficult to source bits and pieces. 200+ pages of it. Also quite a bit of "how to". It's worth a look if you haven't come across it before.

Thanks, there is a 7mm one on there. It might be possible to relieve the trim (moulding?) at strategic points with a Dremmel to make-do if nothing closer turns up.

Thanks David, The 7mm clips from Bresco (delivered next day) were a little tight but solved the problem. The trim certainly won't fall off. The job's a "good un"!
