Fans

Puck's picture

Among other disasters that have recently plagued me, my two lovely fans have broken. So now I need replacements[that won't cost and arm and a leg] and there for advice on where to find them. Alternatively, any one have suggestions on replacing the little pin that holds the fan together? I can't seem to find screws or bolts or wires that are the right thickness.

As odd as this may sound...  Have you considered using a "pop-rivet"?  You need a special tool to use them (a pop rivet gun), but you should be able to pick them up at any hardware store.  I used to sell them when I worked at crappy tire.  They come in different sizes, and once "popped" should be about the right length.  It might be worth looking into.
