Special Niche Nipple Repair Plug

special fasteners and related products to print - niche nipple repair plug

Easily one of the more odd specials we have worked on for a customer, this is the niche nipple repair plug made to a print provided by our long time customer.  Each part is machined individually, making it a fairly expensive item to produce and to tool up for.  Smaller quantities of this type of special part are therefore not financially feasible for most applications.
