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:

  1. Remove any remnants of the rivet from the brace
  2. Place the bolt through the small hole where the rivet used to be from the inside of the brace
  3. Place the strap/buckle over the bolt
  4. Apply the small nut onto the end of the bolt
  5. Tighten the nut with pliers (you may also need to use a small Phillips screwdriver to prevent the bolt from rotating)
