Singer 9 hood rivets / spindles

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

Singer 9 hood rivets / spindles

Post by mfairbairn »

One of the hinge-things on my Singer 9 hood has snapped (see the attached photos). I've tried a Google search, but I can't see anything about hood frame spares. But there must be something out there - I suspect I'm just not using the correct search terms. So, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

It looks like you just need a 3/16" steel rivet. Try searching ebay. Add terms like 'solid' and 'dome head' to avoid getting 'pop' rivets.

How about here:
