Article: Basics
of Strap Eyes, Rivets & Well Nuts TEN (10) STRAP EYES: These strap eyes (pad eyes) are black nylon plastic, strong enough for all but the cruelest punishment. This style is the industry standard for kayak assembly, most commonly used for backrest and knee strap attachments. Other uses include leash attachment, shock cord and deck lines. If you have questions please Ask Tom @ Topkayaker.net. TEN to a package to match rivet or well-nut quantities. OK Kayak Seat Adaptor Kit 2 Strap Eyes & 4 Well-Nuts Mount a single pair of strap eyes behind you kayak’s cockpit to attach a Brass Clip style backrest to your Ocean Kayak. You can use this kit anywhere you need two strap eyes for any reason on any kayak. This kit comes with water proof Well-Nuts so no special tools are needed, just a drill and Philips screwdriver. No sealant needed! Instructions included. Two Stainless Steel Strap Eyes sold in pairs with hardware. Stainless Steel Strap Eyes for those who are looking for maximum strength. Similar in dimensions to plastic strap eyes with identical hole pattern. With 4 Well Nuts: OR With 4 Rivets 20 Black Aluminum Rivets You need a hand riveter (rivet gun-see flashing link) to install these, if you don't have this tool, or don't plan to get one, these are not for you. This type of rivet is the industry standard for kayak assembly. These rivets are all aluminum, corrosion resistant, strong enough for most, if not all, applications. Most often used to install strap eyes on deck. These black rivets have tiny rubber "O" rings that help seal against water. However, I still recommend the use of silicone sealant. TWENTY to a package to match strap eye quantities. TWENTY (20) WELL-NUTS w/ Stainless Steel Machine Screws:This fastening system, while not as popular as rivets, is very easy to use in several different ways. Well Nuts are used as an industry standard for many popular kayaks. The only tool you will need is a Phillips head screw driver and your hands. (Drill too of course) Well Nuts can be used in places where you can reach inside and where you cannot reach inside. Stainless steel screws and brass / neoprene "nut-sert" resists corrosion, however electrolysis (in salt water) will bond brass to steel making removal difficult, but not impossible.

Dual Adjustable Side Squeeze Buckles (1 pair) These are the standard 1 & ½ inch size plastic buckles used for most sit-on-top kayak accessory applications.

release plastic buckles. Important: The male side has an adjustable
ladder-loc, the female side does NOT have a ladder-loc. To use the
