Vinyl pad poppers
« on: March 29, 2006, 04:45 PM »
Anyone know a way of replacing the poppers from vinyl pads ? I have some Redline ones, but the popper heads are rusty, and need to make way for some shiny new ones, but I dunno how to get them off without damaging the pad.

Is it just a case of being careful with the drill ?

I don't even know where to get replacements from, but I'm guessing a sewing shop maybe ?

Cheers

Guy  :)
