I needed to buy small rivets and noticed that there were small nuts in the shop to.
I found it interesting that the 1,2 and 1,4 mm nuts had the same outside size (same tool to be used) but the thickness was different.
In a crafts store I found a rubber band with an interesting texture.
I thought that it would pass as a metal spun hose in 1/20 scale.
The different parts joined. I have noticed that the two hexagon parts in the A/N-fittings often have different heights so that is why I bought two types of nuts.
The red part should perhaps be more pointy but I think this is better than my prior builds, trying to cut pieces of hexagon plastic rods.

Re: A/N-fittings (my way)
not a bad effect. Looking at the small parts web site they have a lot of items at a reasonable price.
Doing a conversion the nuts used would be good for a 1 inch fitting in 1/20th scale. Sorry my metric is not the best.
certainly wish everything was metric everywhere.
