Re: Eyelet Installation Question...

Bryan Prud'Homme | Re: Eyelet Installation Question... I've been using the Keystone eyelet sold by Mouser, part number 534-45. This part (for 1/8th inch hole) may be slightly more narrow than the eyelets Fender used, but still works very well for Fender style fish paper boards and glass boards too. Fender style eyelets are open at both ends just like the Keystone products. Forgive me if I failed to understand what you meant by "cup style eyelet." I used to use a large center punch to flange the eyelets and gently hammer them flat. Then for a while I used the staking kit from Mouser (part number 534-1721), but later found a rounder eyelet tool at a local hardware store that works much better, but I still finish off the flanged eyelets with a small hammer. A friend of mine uses a drill press to install the eyelets. I hope I have said something helpful. Bryan Prud'Homme |
