Actually I'm not really looking for a bargain, just trying to find ANYWHERE that sells shelf support pins with a 3mm diameter.
(For those who don't know what shelf support pins are, here's a link to a 5mm one.. http://www.masters.com.au/product/902364552/prestige-nickel-… )
These are to fix up an Ikea bookcase that has been discontinued, so we can't get spare parts…
Can you drill out the holes to 5mm? Might be easier than running around.
Yeah, I'm guessing drilling out is the only way, but I was just hoping to find an eBay seller with 20 shelf pins for $5 to save me the hour it will take me to find the drill, charge it up and do the drilling.
ask ikea - they have been helpful to me in the past, i.e. free spares for old models.
try ur local cabinet maker but if that fails drilling them out is about the only to fix ur problem.
Get some 3mm round bar from aluminium supplier. eg www.Capral.com.au
They may even cut into pieces for you.
Im guessing you tried, but maybe bunnings? Or a timber warehouse of some kind?
