Title: Eyelets and Gypsy Studs with extra long barrel - need source
Post by: JuneC on August 22, 2014, 11:20:14 am
The eyelets and gypsy studs with the 3/8" barrels are apparently made only by Fasnap and I can order directly from them, but one box would be more than enough and they require a $50 minimum.  A box of 100 is only $7.  I prefer Dot brand but they don't come that long.

Osborne makes X-long (3/8") caps and eyelets [full disclosure:  I am an Osborne distributor].  If you're interested, I happen to have 100 X-long caps in stock (but not eyelets unless I order them).

I also have 1/4" Fasnap gypsy studs, if that will work for you.

Thanks, Dede.  A 1/4" barrel isn't going to cut it.  I need a full 3/8 eyelet.  I'd go with 1/2" if they made such a beast.  I have one other local source I'm going to try tomorrow.  I'll let you know.

No pressure, June.  It's always better to go local if you can, anyway.  Hope you find what you need!
