Question ROLAND "those horrid little plastic rivets

you know the ones, they retain the ribbon cables and tiny circuit boards (2 piece plastic rivet 2.5mm or 3 mm diameter) on the older roland printers

does anyone have a part # to order a bag of 100 or so

they are hard enough to put in when they are new and i am getting blinder by the day...

They come in bags of 20. PN: 31299102AS. I can usually reuse them by separating the two pieces and pinching the rivet closed with a pair of forceps, but sometimes the angle of approach doesn't allow it.

Good Luck

thank you, joe
i just went to tyrreltech & picked up a bag this morning
i have always reused them, but, old age is getting to me, i don't have the dexterity to squeeze them and get them in place
easier to buy the bag than sabotage the repair for $20
