Does anyone know where to find nosepads for an old Autoflex 103 frame. These have a half moon shape that slips over a sort of barb.
This is the style I am looking for. Be happy to purchase them from anyone here, if you have any laying around.

Is it the primadonna pad?

It’s not a primadonna but I tried one on and it may work as a last resort.Quote:

Why do manufacturers have to be different crazy nosepads?

No thanks... don't carry those frames anymore.
Yep, I'd like to see a frame designer have to replace a crimp on nosepad or mount a cr39 lens into one of those stupid "False front" metal frames without chipping the temple edge. We need to standardize things like screw sizes and nosepads!Quote:

Most edgers allow you to alter shapes after you trace them just reduce the A dimension by 2/10 and increase the B by 2/10. It will be easy to mount the lens and it will be tight in the eyewire. Make sure the c size stays the same you might have to change the B more or less to keep the c size.
Oh, I don’t struggle to mount lenses in false fronts anymore but back when I first started on an old AIT edger it was a pain! I just would like to see a frame designer have to work on some of the problematic frames we see these days and maybe they’d start making designs that make sense for the people that have to work on them.Quote:

c'est un gros plan des pads dont j'ai besoin.

Bonjour,
J'ai aussi récemment utilisé le matériel Safilo 2.0. et par surprise, cela m'a beaucoup aidé
Excellent advice. Works wonders...Quote:

I have some instore here but I am based pretty much in middle of Australia, postage would take a LONG time to arrive from here - basically Australia has almost zero flights in and out at the moment
Whenever someone orders a frame with a different pad design (like Ovvu) I always order a few extra pairs as standard practice because they inevitably fail and too often tje style is phased out- but I'll take down that 3 or more year old box of parts and save the day and added grief.
The all soft silicone, like the old round Airwear, are frames to avoid imo.
