cable guides / push rivets

[echoplex]

Anyone know of a source/size for the plastic push rivets that hold the top-tube cable guides in place? I know I can get new, aluminum guides with the rivets through this site, and there are 3D printer versions out there, too. I have all the guides on my new-to-me old T900, but most have the pins missing/broken and the guides are just zip-tied in place. Would be nice to just reuse these with new pins... THX

Your original ones might be in the top tube. Perhaps you can rattle them out or use a vacuum with a clean bag. It's been a long time since I installed one and don't remember the diameter. I would think you could use something like small tacks. Brass would be good. I wonder if toothpicks would work.

The old A113 guides are pushing 30+ years. The plastic gets brittle and breaks. They are all one unit and you will not be able to re-attach the original pin.

These guides are a replacement for the A113. (5mm) They are CNC aluminum, and come with plastic pins. Although any pop rivet will work 30 years from now.
