Default Plastic hob top rivets?

Hi al,

Anyone seen these available anywhere please?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5772409/Oven%20clips.jpg

They (4 off) are a small plastic 'rivet' type thing that retain the
hob top onto the oven itself.

For some reason, one seems to have fallen to bits whereas the others
seem ok (it could be in a hotter place).

I didn't know if there were unique to this sort of role or could be
found elsewhere. If they did the same job (going in a 7x7 mm square
hole through two sheets of steel) then we could change al 4 etc (not
particularly fussed re the colour as long as they do the job).

Cheers, T i m

That sort of thing is common on cars. Depending on size, even a larger
Halfords might have them. Look at their assortments boxes. But likely just
black. Otherwise, try a car trim supplier like Woolies.

Google for "push rivets" or "snap rivets".

Cheers,

Colin.

Thanks all,

I have found and tried some car rivets but none quite the right size
yet. It seems that 'screw rivets' might be what I'm looking for.
