Okay this is my first post. Sorry I couldn't find a discussion area appropriate for fixing various bits and bobs and an airsoft mask is a rather random thing to need to fix.

I bought this mask for my brother, it took ages to ship in and its otherwise perfect apart from the fact one rivet is missing, as you can see in this photo here:



This is how it should be, as is on the other side, front and back:






Now normally I'd send it back, but I don't have time to do this, and I also don't have a receipt. It should just be a case of getting these double sided plastic rivet thingys and popping them in, but I don't know what they're called and hence don't know what I'm looking for. So if anyone can identify what these plastic rivety things are, and tell me where I can get them from I'd be immensely grateful. Thanks :)

Welcome...

Have you googled for plastic rivets?

You could fix it with a black plastic number plate bolt, available from most car shops.

Plastic number plate bolt seems possible but its looks like the screw would end up sticking into his head and making it rather uncomfortable. Snap fasterners/press studs seem to be the best solution but they need a specialist tool and I don't know where I can get access to one.

I thought these would work...

Excellent! The ratchet rivets look perfect :) Do you need a specialist tool or can hey just be pressed together?

"During assembly these two parts are simply pushed together forming a secure and tamper proof fixing, typically of two panels."
