Where can I get Stainless Steel tacks

[eystein]

Where can I get Stainless Steel tacks for nailing the convertible top to the wood ?

I would like to avoid staples, simply as that is not the way it was done. Man, I'm already battling with myself on how I could use SS tacks as the originals were ordinary steel.....

Try a marine supply store ?

i got them at lowes but do they have them in norway??
not sure if they were ss or aluminum tacks

[Bill Underwood]

Sounds great but hope you have a helper. Aren't you going to loose your ability to use the magnetized end to hold the tacks? May take four hands to do the job.??????????

I got most of my stainless hardware for my project from West Marine.

Another option is to use brass tacks. They don't leave stains either.

According to Wikipedia:

Brass tacks are a type of pin or nail. In colloquial English, the phrase to come (or get) down to brass tacks is sometimes used idiomatically meaning to consider the basic facts of a situation.
