• 12.9mm eyelets

    Posted by Jason Davies on 13 July 2011 at 19:38

    Ordered some eyelets yesterday and was assured that 12mm were the correct size, suffice to say these do not fit my machine. Does anyone use the above size and can you recommend a supplier??

    Thanks

    If your talking about brass sail eyelets then try here…

    I assume the measurement your needing is the inside dia of the eyelet in which case both have one of 12.70mm.

    You also need to be aware that the eyelets needed for some of those hand presses have parallel shanks for self piercing rather than the tapered ones suitable for hand punches and auto feed machines only.

    Thanks Andrew, I’m going to send a sample to eyelets.co.uk to see what they have.
