mackDan Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I've figured out how to repair my loosening buckle rivets on my Raichle boots, (specifically the lower two buckles) with a "weld nut" and a button head cap screw. I used a #10-24 x 1/4" Stainless Steel Button head cap screw (allen wrench head), a #10 stainless Steel flat washer, and a #10-24 weld nut. A weld nut is round, looks like a T-nut, but is flat, and has no prongs to dig into your boot. http://www.on-b.com/nuts/wfz.htm The button head cap screw sticks up only slightly higher than the original rivet (about 0.1"). The hard part was getting the very loose rivets out of the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
