Re: [volt-nuts] PCB fasteners for Datron meters (David C. Partridge)
I've tried finding a US distributor. Same story, the only one that
claims to sell them has no inventory. Not very useful.

The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck
will be the day they make vacuum cleaners.
Or maybe Windows 10.
Bill,
Was it WCL ? West Coast Lockwashers has some push-pull rivets but I have no
idea if they will work.
They don't look the same but I wouldn't care as long as they were
functional.

I fear that none of those WCL fasteners will fit the 3/16 hole (0.188" abt. 4.8mm)

I searched Amazon with both Southco part numbers and they appear to show
that they are available for order.
$0.23 for the grommet http://amzn.com/B01DYYNHP8
$0.21 for the plunger http://amzn.com/B01DYYL66K
Shipping is not cheap at a fixed $6.50 for each part number. Selecting a
total of 30 each does not affect shipping.
Of course, the "In Stock" status could be wrong ...

I now have prices from Essentra (was Richco) for their SLG-2S-B grommet and SLPB-2S-B pin which appear to be an exact match for the Southco Nylatch parts.
I'm being sent samples which should be with me tomorrow or Friday so I can check they do actually work.
On the assumption that I order at least 150, the pricing appears quite attractive, at GBP7 per 20 (grommet and pin) plus shipping from UK.
GBP7 is about USD10.20

The Essentra parts are a perfect fit - the pin handle is slightly shorter, but that's really not a problem
