Forest Cobbler Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi Please can someone tell me how to fit a new mushroom pin to a clasp. I had rather assumed that they were in two pieces that you had to push together, but it appears they're not, and now I don't understand how to fit it. Thanks, Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I would guess you need to put it into the hole then tap it with a hammer until the bottom of the pin expands and fills the hole completely. although that may affect the top of the pin. Seems like a job for a specialist tool to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted June 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 If only I could find a specialist tool. Got the set of mixed sizes from Cousins because we frequently get straps in with missing pins, but cannot find any instructions or a tool to fit them with. As I said, I assumed they were in two parts, and that it would be self explanatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted July 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have discovered that they are supposed to just be a friction fit, no tools required after all. Now all I have to do is get one that is thicker stemmed than any that I have, then maybe I can finally do this repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
