    Silhouette has several nose pad styles now so depending on what you need Hilco may have. There may be other vendors as well.

    nose pads are usually a generic item and not made by frame manufacturers but by frame parts manufacturers and then sold through distributors.

    Hello,
    just a quick stupid question, replacing the hard nose pads on a silhouette, where the nosepad post sides into the pad. To replace them do you just tug the pad downward? I tried and it was really hard, I didn't to break it off. thanks.....udaman2314

    I have a pair of rubber grippers that I like to use for this. It helps to get a firm grip. These frames are durable. I've never had one break from doing this.

    This is Amcon's selection, I don't see it...

    Do you have a model number?


    Optical 24/7 helped with the need at the time, since then I broke down and opened a Silhouette account.

    I have been working with silhouette frames for the last 9 years and have not found those nosepads anywhere but silhouette. Good luck.

    So based on this logic Uncle Fester's skin is softer and more sensitive than the petite women that Barry sees in his shop.

    I just ordered another set today, I use them for the Stepper drills which have a similar design, are decent quality at 1/3 the price of silhouette but have terrible nosepads that are constantly falling out.

    $1.50 per pad and $.40 cents per bushing is a little steep but if no one can match the quality, it's worth it.
