soooo, what are these little gadgets called?

[davido_labido]

sooo... i need some of these, but have no idea what they are called.

these ones are:

12mm long when the little pin thing is pulled out
8mm when its closed (which makes the little feet come out)
and they fit a 4mm hole.

i need them to be able to hold a piece of 3mm and a 2mm sheet together, so these ones just wont cut it.

anyone have any ideas please?!

They look like the clips that hold boot lining in place in cars.

quick bay search for "Trim Clip" or "boot lining clip" returns a lot of different types, hopefully one may be the size you need.

Edit - Push Rivets seem to be the proper term for them.

all a bit late and all, but a 'scrivet' is what you're after..(next time )

general name to cover the the easily re-usables type with a screw head and feint thread that can obviously be undone, but fast push fitted, and the standard push fit rivet you have there

I know its a few days late, but I had the page open in a tab and only just got back to it
