Dovo Style Washers/Rivets

[thp001]

Does anyone know what these are called or where to get them? They're like a pre assembled washer and pin on one side and a washer on the other so you only peen one side.

Many thanks.

Sorry, Cant help in where to find them. I normally replace them with real pins when I find them.

Yeah those are the ones. Seem awful pricey on that store however. There was someone on the forum getting them in bulk from Europe but I couldn't find the thread.

It’s pretty easy to use brass rod. Clamp it (some folks use a drill chuck) and peen one end. Push it through with a washer, cut to length and peen with a washer on the other end.

I’ve used these “nails” as well as brass rod and there really is very little difference in effort or time required and it does not justify the added cost. Take the leap!

I do know how to peen traditional pins, I was looking for the Dovo pins because I have a few modern production German razors I'm cleaning up where I've only had to drill out the pivot end so want the pins to match each end of the razor. I've tried pinning with some nickel silver rod I have but it doesn't look the same and if I can help it I don't want to bother drilling out the wedge ends just to make everything look even. Another difference is that the cup washer they use seems noticeably smaller in height and width than the ones I buy.
