If it were me, I'd put out the word among the roofing community that any roofers removing an asbestos roof should save the copper pins for you.   Old_historic_arabi_louisiana (Old_historic_arabi_louisiana) New member Username: Old_historic_arabi_louisiana Post Number: 4 Registered: 05-2013 Posted on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - 06:00 pm:        I would like to get at least 300.   Joe (Joe) Moderator Username: Joe Post Number: 778 Registered: 07-2006 Posted on Saturday, May 04, 2013 - 11:53 am:        How many do you need?   Old_historic_arabi_louisiana (Old_historic_arabi_louisiana) New member Username: Old_historic_arabi_louisiana Post Number: 3 Registered: 05-2013 Posted on Friday, May 03, 2013 - 08:56 pm:        ok so they are called disk rivets. I see they sell them in Europe. I wonder if I can trust ordering from over seas.   Old_historic_arabi_louisiana (Old_historic_arabi_louisiana) New member Username: Old_historic_arabi_louisiana Post Number: 2 Registered: 05-2013 Posted on Friday, May 03, 2013 - 08:18 pm:        How did you find them on Ebay?   Joe (Joe) Moderator Username: Joe Post Number: 776 Registered: 07-2006 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 12:19 pm:        I got some on Ebay. You may be able to use copper nails turned upside down and snipped off.   Old_historic_arabi_louisiana (Old_historic_arabi_louisiana) New member Username: Old_historic_arabi_louisiana Post Number: 1 Registered: 05-2013 Posted on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 - 08:11 pm:        I am fixing a portion of an old asbestos roof. The section I am fixing needs about 40 tiles. I have them but does anyone know where I can get the pins that go at the bottom of each tile? Should I just use slate hooks on all of them? I did individual repairs on single tiles using slate hooks. But the back left section of the roof is badly damaged and needs to be fully replaced. The size of the tile is 16inches by 16inches asbestos. hex
