Strong Mild Steel
Made from durable mild steel, these rivets provide a secure fastening solution for armor making, leatherwork and craft projects. The steel construction is strong while remaining workable enough for proper peening during installation, making these mild steel rivets suitable for both new projects and repairs.
Smooth Dome Head Design
The rounded dome-shaped head creates a clean and traditional finish on the visible side of your project. These Dome Rivets work particularly well where the fastening is intended to remain visible, providing a neat appearance.
Made for Armor Making & Repair
Rivets are an important fastening component when constructing or repairing different types of armor. These medieval armor rivets can be used for joining suitable metal components, attaching leather straps, repairing armor sections and working on historically inspired equipment.
They are also useful for LARP equipment, costume construction, leather accessories and other DIY craft projects.
Multiple Length & Quantity Options
Choose from three rivet lengths depending on your project:
Available Lengths: 10 mm, 13 mm and 16 mm
Available Quantities: 25 pcs and 100 pcs
Material: Mild Steel
Head Style: Dome / Round Head
The different lengths make these round head rivets useful for a variety of material thicknesses and applications. Always choose the rivet length according to the thickness of the materials being joined while leaving sufficient shaft exposed for proper peening.
How to Install
Place the rivet through the prepared holes in the materials being joined. Support the dome head securely on a suitable hard surface or rivet-setting tool, then carefully peen the exposed end of the shaft until the materials are held firmly together.
For the best result, make sure the rivet is the correct length for your project before installation.
Care & Maintenance
