So I'm working on my Midway Coin Door and am at the point where I need to purchase and attach a reproduction Midway logo. Thanks to ArcadeShop.com they produce a replacement metal logo. I'm told this has an ahesive backing, but what I'd like to do is rivet it to the door like the orginal. Not being so bright, I neglected to SAVE the rivets I hammered out of the original door. What I need is some kind folks who might have some rivets to measure them and let me know which size on THIS CHART match up. My current guess is that the 1/4th look about right. Can anyone verify this? Second note of business, is that i've emailed this company, and the minimum order they will ship is $25.00 which amounts to a 100pc brass flat head rivet set. If I could verify the demensions with someone else, I'd be willing to go in on a group buy on these. So, if you have an interest for Brass Flathead Midway Logo Rivets, please get back to me with any of the above info as you can. Thanks -csa |

Can anyone who has purchased a Midway Reproduction Coindoor Logo from ArcadeShop.com measure the thickness (in millimeters) of that plate? I'm getting some rivet samples sent to me and need to know that measurement to add to the length I'll need. More info when this is available. -csa |

rock on if you get enough samples... you might not need to purchase them at all. also you should be able to find rivets locally. i believe most hardware stores carry them. maybe even auto part stores. i dunno about the size tho. |

Yes, my local ACE hardware has rivets in the pull out drawers of the nuts & bolts section. Some people will pop rivet the logo plate. |

Yes rivets are available everywhere, but we need the flat-head rivets, in brass with the right size.... I have the arcadeshop.com Midway coindoor logo here, it's 1 mm thick. Don't think it's metal though ! I think you'll need to make holes on the place where the rivets need to come first, before the actual rivetting. I hope you still have the old plate as a mask... Maybe drilling while holding it on a piece of wood.....be carefull these plates are pretty expensive..... I haven't ever used rivets before in my life.... The head of the rivet is exactly 0,5 cm across (diameter). That would be 0,19685039 inch........ I have no clue about the other dimensions. Mine are still on the coindoor. How did you remove them ? Drilling ? |
