ST-70 seat studs
Hi,I'm restoring my 1973 St-70. I'm going to re-chrome a batch of parts. I need one seat stud/rivet as it's always been missing since I bought bike. I think plenty of people will have re-upholstered their seats, so was hoping someone would have one sitting around they dont need. Condition not important of course so long as any corrosion is'n't too severe.
My 1st post,so heres hoping? cheers.

correction, they have run out and unlikely to get any more. Try a furniture upholsterer. Vmax

Thanks for your reply,as I only need one to match the originals which I have shotblasted and polished ready to get chromed,I hoped someone may have one original spare which I will send to be re-plated with mine.If anyone can help I can send a s.a.e. with a pound(£) in or whatever.

Try contacting this seller on ebay bobtheseat - he sells the studs along with the seat covers, so he should be able to help.

Many thanks Roundwound,I've'd p.m my address to you.You only get one go at getting all the bits together for chroming and I think this will complete my batch after a quick polish!
I'll try and get some pictures of rebuild of seat as base was pretty bad but after a good few hours of work will be good as new ( well nearly!) Cheers
