    I need to buy some more white rivet caps. I last bought about 10 years ago and can’t remember from whom. I do remember that I was ripped of with a minimum order cost and bought way more than I wanted. I only want 1000 and don’t want to part with any body parts to acquire them.
    I have googled for them and there only seems to be one supplier selling what I need.
    Any one got any recommendations?
    😀

    Thanks Rob for the quick reply, but the rivet caps I need is for Blind Rivets NOT SCREW CAPS. The confusion comes in with the fact they call any sort of screw cap a "rivet cap" Sorry if I wasn’t clear with my original post. 😳

    Moss Express do them and a whole lot more. mossexpress.co.uk

    I haven’t used their caps (used to use Tofco but no need for them nowadays) so I can’t vouch for them but the advertise next day delivery. In fact I think they also offer to send out samples to check if they will fit etc.

    Thanks Niel but I had a look there first time. Again their caps are screw covers not specifically designed for blind rivets.

    Rob these guys are local to me and great on advice and also do their own coloured headed Tek screws in house.

    They have various thread options depending on materials being fixed too.

    Mike: you may be using an older catalogue, but they do have them http://www.mossexpress.co.uk/blind-rivet-caps
    Only in black and white though. I used to get them from Tofco (www.tofco.co.uk) in all road traffic colours – red, green, yellow, etc. I used to get the signfix clamps/channel from them too. I’ve not been doing that sort of work for many years now so don’t know if they still do it, but I found them very helpful way back in the 80s.

    thanks Tim, as long as the supplier has a website and area "trade" supplier… any "recommendation" by a genuine sign maker on UKSB and we will add it to our suppliers lists on Toolbar and phone app. So thanks for that, i will add them on the next update mate.

    Who is the company who supply a sample pack of all sorts of different covers? They have been at the last couple of Sign shows at Birmingham. I have a large display pack, unfortunately not here, and cannot remember the name.

    Someone may remember.
