Drain hole hardware for Indy bag

IndyinExton · Post by **IndyinExton** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 8:26 pm

Hi all...

I lucked into a WWII Czech gas mask bag for free that with some mods would make a pretty good Indy bag. Does anyone know where I can get the brass/metal drain hole hardware for the bottom of the bag? Or, have any ideas as to the best way to make them?

I got the snaps covered already and the strap should be in from Todd's any day now.

Thanks in advance.

I how that you can get pretty much the exact grommets at Home Depot and most Fabric shops..I have never been able to find the mesh part myself.

Hey! You put me on the right track...they are called mesh eyelets, or ventilator eyelets, and not grommets.

I just found these. I don't know if they will sell 5-6 as a sample order, but we'll see. I also asked them in the email I sent where they can be found retail. Here's hoping!
