They consist of a 4-point clawed rivet of about 5mm long, and a pin which pushes down the centre to open it out. I need five of them ideally - but even two or three would get the case buttoned up, if not perfectly. I've checked the local plastic supplier catalogues and haven't found anything which quite matches up. Cheers, -- Phil. philpem at philpem.me.uk https://www.philpem.me.uk/ Sent from iPad Pro
