My parting beads don't use any fixings. They are an interference fit in
their grooves, and have to be tapped in with a block of wood and a
hammer.

That may have been the case here 150 years ago. ;-) The old ones had long
panel pins, though.


Belt and braces! If you replace them with the furry type, you'll
probably find that they're a tight enough fit without needing any pins.
