Stainless steel slider grommets

[CanadianNoob 0]

Does anyone have a source for #8 stainless steel grommets for a slider?

Paragear doesn't seem to have them and google comes up empty...

Thanks.

They don't exist. What you're looking for I think are Rutgerson Super rings. They are cheap enough but the setting tool is very expensive.

And requires a shop press to set. Not something you want to invest in for dies and press unless your going to do a lot. I believe Mark Lancaster (never remember his businessbusiness name) and Kirk Smith at Paraconcepts can.both help you get made what you need.

Your number 8 hand dies for brass and nickel plated won't work.

I'm aware of what's required to install them. Another local rigger has the tools.

Thanks!

Rigging is such a small community. Yes I have the dies and the removal tool and the punch. Well UPS went and lost a few of the parts but I'll have my shipment of rings this week.

Don't see a dealer in Canada. In U.S. Challenge Sailcloth. Let him know where you got them.

So, is anybody using the titanium Super Rings yet? Haven't asked how much they are yet.

I think I have a handful of them. PM me if interested and when I get back from Reno I can send them to you. Any reasonable offer should be acceptable.

I haven't ordered them but they require the thicker die. I have that die too. I think they're about $18 ea. I'll probably put up a post/review if I get some and try them. Personally I think the rings themselves will be too heavy duty for our needs.
