My engine shed suffered a little damage in the storm, and I am planning to strength it with brass angle on the inside, and though I would use "Wall Tie Pattress Plates" on the outside, however I have been unable to find any of a suitable scale. Does anybody know where I could buy some. Brass would be nice, but 3D printed or resin cast would do, many thanks.

Are you looking for something structural (with threaded rod on the back to fix the brass angle with a nut)? Or something cosmetic to cover the separate fixings doing the "actual work"?

In either case, are you looking for a decorative disc (roughly what diameter?)? Or some other specific shape?

Cheers

David cosmetic to cover the bolt head, not really bothered about the shape, just something that will look better than a plain bolt head on the outside. Size, unsure, but I assume these are about 2 - 3 foot in diameter, scale size around 25 - 35 mm diameter. The only ones I can fine are "00" and though they do not give an actual size, I suspect they are too small :)

Sorry for the slow response. the battery on my laptop has finally "given up the ghost" so I've had to cobble something together to get back online.

Would something like this (sprayed black) be suitable?

It's about 33mm diameter, moulded plastic (maybe resin) and is intended as a decorative motif for adding detailing to furniture (drawer fronts or wardrobe doors). At the decorative boss in the centre, it's about 5.5 mm deep. I coud let you have half a dozen or so, if they're suitable.

Failing that, try searching online for "round decorative moulding" . . . or "decorative buttons" . . . or you might find something suitable in a dolls house supplier.

Hope that something here helps you in your search.

Cheers

Jimmy, as a possibility try looking at some of the decorative buttons available.
