kilt pin

[DScottHunter]

This is my first post as a new member, so bear with me please. I have had the same problem in the past and I overheard a "kilted" Harley Davidson rider telling another about collecting pins and making sure they don't loose them. I went to a Harley shop and found what she was talking about. It is a small tubular piece of metal with a hole that you slide the pin thru. Along it's side is a small allen screw. So you pierce your cloth first then attach the tube, secure the screw with a small allen wrench provided and then finish attaching the pin to the fabric as usual. The pin, if it becomes detached will not slide out. There are several of these items in each small bag along with the wrench. Very handy!

Hi DScottHunter,
That is a great idea, I happen to have a few of those for some of my precious badges.....
Here is a couple of pics:


I shall put one on my kilt pin permanently, thanks once again for the idea!

Kilt pin addiction??

Noooo!

Kilt pins are nothing more than a reason to have enough kilts, so you don´t have your pins lying around!

What a cool idea, Dscott. I'm no where near a Harley shop. Any thoughts about where these little gizmos can be found... hardware store?

They're very small mar connectors, usually used for connecting two wires together. Should be available at the hardware store. I'm going to get a bunch!
