Rivet Replacement Bolt
Because a lot of force is applied by the straps, occasionally the rivet attaching the strap or buckle to the brace can break. With each brace we provide a ‘Rivet Replacement Kit that includes two bolts and two nuts so you can replace the rivet with the bolt & nut and continue to use the brace..
To re-attach the strap/buckle to the brace:
- Remove any remnants of the rivet from the brace
- Place the bolt through the small hole where the rivet used to be from the inside of the brace
- Place the strap/buckle over the bolt
- Apply the small nut onto the end of the bolt
- Tighten the nut with pliers (you may also need to use a small Phillips screwdriver to prevent the bolt from rotating)
