I am looking at doing some stuff to my sled, and was curious if anyone had a link or source to where I could pick up some of the metal snaps like boss uses to hold down there seats. I would be using them to hold on some little cover panels around a custom seat, that way it would be a solid peice, but could be popped on and off as needed for acces.

I get mine from a local hardware store, home depot has them as well.

They sell them in complete kits with both sides of the snaps with the button head install tool, or just the refill kits.

And with the buttons that have screws already in em, or just with a hole so you could rivet them in or use your own screws.

the tiny rivet used on BOSS seat tunnel button is junk, i like to drill that bad boy out to a 1/8" rivet, then you will need to trim the rivet head a bit to stuff it inside the tunnel side button, now its much strong and wont snap off nearly as much, but it still snaps off if you ride like total badace:face-icon-small-hap

I have found that the small sheetmetal screws seem to hold up better than the rivets! Plus they sit deeper in the snap itself unlike most rivets.

hmm.. good thought.. and yeah, getting something with a head that sits lower would work out nicely, less fussy about popping off then hopefully.
