Wondering if anyone has any pins for these corners I managed to get from D&J Simons (discontinued at Wessex) Simons sent me a bag of pins that there computer said [emoji3] matched them, but they are to small and pass through. Would pay for cost & P&P or any info where to get, So far no luck with local hardware shops

Re: Pins
You might try upholstery pins, be careful to check the size before ordering any, because upholstery pins come in various shapes and sizes. I can't suggest where to look as I don't know anywhere.

Re: Pins
Excellent advice as it happens we have a upholsterers in the village and he had loads of pins etc. that some old boy gave to him years ago, said they have come in really handy over the years.
Couldn’t find any to match the dummy centre one so filed that down and drilled it out to so now have X3 matching pins
Will post finished picture when completed

Re: Pins
Was just going to say try searching for 'brass escutcheon pins' but it looks like you have done an excellent job there
