Topic: Seat trim hardware source?

[michael_650]

The chrome trim around the bottom edge of my seat (1981 CB650) i coming loose in a few places.  I finally figured out there's a pin; the head goes into the trim, the pin goes through the lip at the bottom of the seat, and there's a locking ring that goes onto the pin.  I also discovered that while the trim had popped loose on one pin, two other pins were MIA. 

Anybody know where i can get replacements/substitutes for these?

I found suitable replacement trim on eBay. Looks factory, install with trim adhesive.

The locking rings(speed nuts/push nuts) are available but I have not seen the pins for sale anywhere - I annealed mine and re-used them. Before doing that though, I found some dome top screws and nuts that would do as a substitute but with the screw head in the chrome trim, to do the nut up tight you have to hold the end of the thread with pliers..
