Good morning
We use these triangles occasionally when the frame fit is too tight for our standard gun/points - they are fitted by hand … does anyone have any squirrelled away by any chance or know where I could buy them? Many thanks!
Framers triangle points!

Lion do (did do) Fletcher 11mm ones.
But if you take my advice, invest in a Fletcher Multipoint gun. Excellent for 'shoehorn' jobs.

I agree, I have only used my multi point gun a handful of times in the last few years, but when you need it you need it!

I'm shuddering thinking about cuts from removing rusty triangle points...

Re: Framers triangle points!
Those are long obsolete "glazers points". I agree that you should be updating your supplies. The Fletcher Terry part number is 08-511 if they are still available. They are loose packed and do not fit into a fitting tool; thus, they are not as safe to use.

Re: Framers triangle points!
Are they the larger 13mm triangle points, for the old Kaha point guns. I've got some, but I need to look for them, because I don't know where they are. They come in a thin metal sleeve, and you withdraw the sleeve after the points are in the gun. The 13mm points are to large to for other guns point guns. I'm not that far from you in Devon.

Re: Framers triangle points!
I use Multi points for everything. They hold well. They are nice and thin and can be bent without springing back.
They are also handy for joining stacked sections when the inner part protrudes - band one in and put a small screw in the hole.
They are easy to remove.
I never like the conventional framers points (Green gun).
