not sure if anyones done this before but i managed to fit some new poppers onto my super's bar pad yesterday evening - all by myself! smile/eek.gif

took a bit of searching around sewing shops, shoemenders, etc before i got some poppers very nearly the right size from a chanldery. fitting actually proved to be pretty straight forward, here's some pics

all the bits neatly laid out

about to hit the punch bit with a hammer

new popper fitted next to old poppers which had all but disintegrated

finished pad next to other pad with original poppers

cheers guys!! grifter maintenance can be thirsty work! got to keep the bench clean wayne, the missus does woodworky stuff in there sometimes - there would be trouble if i started spilling stuff....

in all seriousness if anyone does have any poppering needs i'd be happy to volunteer!
