snap buttons and covers

[Phishy]

I finished replacing the wood backing on my gunnel cushions. When i bought the boat they were not on the boat and most of the wood had de-laminated. In the process the previous owner misplaced a bunch of the snap covers and snap studs.

any idea where i can find these little buggers, i keep coming up empty handed.




fyi, I need the longer metal screw pictured to make it through the cushion, wood and metal.

thanx

I found this site. Check with (I think its) Al's Upholstery on Main St in Green Bay.

DUDE!!! you're freakin awesome!!

you really do not have a clue how many places i tried and came up with nothing.....the biggest problem i had was figuring out the brand

and ooooooo...looky Rv stuff too!!

Now that I found that site for you, I was looking for myself. My upholstery is just stainless screws & stainless grommets. This sure would make it look better.
I didn't see if they had the longer screws though.
