Whatyamacallit nuts

[shenion]

Been looking for some 1/4" locking washers/nuts.

They are similar to tinnerman clips or those stamped cup nuts but they are designed for unthreaded shafts.

I have seen them for things like holding plastic wheels on shafts.

Anyone know what they are called?

 

[madkayaker]

do you mean rivnuts?

Spire nuts?

Think I know what you mean. They used to use them to fix the plastic letters onto old-style number plates. No idea what they're called though!

 

[shenion]

I have find them. There are called push-nuts.

 

[Archie]

I'm thinking of 'Starlock' fasteners apparently...

 

[Paul.]

I think they have various names I have an assorted kit made by spire, these type of things

Spiderfixes or pushnuts. Spiderfixes are the stronger of the two.
