Where can I buy those metal washers K2 puts on their skis?

I'm talking about the metal circular things that they put it the tips/tails of their skis.

I have some Domains with one missing and I'd like to replace it. I've struggled to find them but I know they are out there because someone on this forum told me they had a box of them (they worked for a ski shop). He ended up going MIA so I never got them.
 
Rivets. And you'll need a gun for it if you can find them. There's a thread a while back talking about if there structural or cosmetic. If I remember right there cosmetic. You can fill them with epoxy.

Definitely not only cosmetic for all K2 skis.

A friend of mine had a his poachers delay after riding 3 days with no rivets

Yeah probably not all.

The reason they probably delam after the rivets pop is water gets to the glass + whatever reduction in shear modulus you get from loosing them. And if you look at the rivets on the new 2019 poachers there not true rivets. There press fitted from both sides which isn't a true rivet. The head isn't shearing off, there popping out. I know cause one literally came out opening weekend for me. You can even see they put epoxy underneath the head of one of them. 916974.jpeg

yeah that makes sense but it only proves my point. If they pop out you should replace them to prevent delam. Therefore they aren't only cosmetic since not replacing them would have an impact on how they ride (once they delam)

Lol thanks. Didn't you already reply to me in the other thread?
 
lots of shops have rivots they put in skis that are delamming. Call around, it may not be an exact match but itll work.

That our just get flush mount screws with some epoxy on them, crank em down and wait for the epoxy between the threads to dry. Shops carry those as well.
