Thread: wet dry sandpaper for a restore

Could someone tell me what kind / size of washers I need? I'm trying to find the right thing, preferably from a UK site.

Rescale? A razor?

Sorry, yeah. I think I'm gonna try and get those scales off, so I'm looking for washers for when I re-pin it.

http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...wers-here.html. its all.Here

I use M1.6 stainless steel washers (1.6mm hole diam) on the outside of the scales, and M2 (2mm hole) between the blade and the inner side of the scales (you could probably use M1.6 for both, although I haven't tried). I got them from online fasteners nuts and bolts retailer, who also trade on ebay (as Stainlessbolts, I think). A bag of 100 was a couple of quid.

1/16" brass rod for making the pins I got from Welcome to the Model Dockyard, about 80p for 12" IIRC, plus postage.

That's perfect! Thanks very much. I'll order some in the morning!

I've found a site that I'll get some brass rods and a ballpein hammer from (1oz or 2oz?)

I hadn't thought about it but the brass pin with stainless washer might look rather good!

If u look at that link i sent everything u need is there as well as how to.peen.. with video..s and links where to.get everything sizes of washers and rod.. try ebay a srp member member undream...or maggards razors sells a kit..with everything im.using a cheap 8 oz from. Hf

I'd looked through most of those threads, anyway, and the videos and stuff are very useful. For tools and parts, though, really only found US measurements and US stores. Google as I might, I was still having trouble finding a store in the UK that sold the correct sized washers, so I wanted to confirm what I was looking for.

Boltmeup.com was a good call, though, and now I have a pack of 1.6M flat washers and a pack of 2M flat washers in the post to me.

A 2oz hammer and some brass rods are also on the way.

Was unaware of ur location.. sorry.. any knowledge i have,ill b more than willing to.pass along..
