cable tie bases

[billtebbutt]

Folks I would like to score a couple of dozen old school rivet-on cable tie bases that have been used on pretty much every British FF ever built. However I cannot find a source other than Thomas and Betts and they sell them only by the gazillion - I can't use $300 worth of these!

Anyone know of a source, or have a stash that you'd like to sell?

Rick I hadn't thought of that - I will ask around, someone I know must have that capability...

the plastic stick-on ones from any hardware store have a rivet hole in them if plastic suits your application.

That's the product you want and they are available in whatever quantity you want.

If you absolutely need black, you can get them here:

Some times is just searching luck. I believe it was a 5/32 rivet that fit best.

Since you are in Canada, these might be more convenient (Oakville), if suitable.
