Re: Aluminum Rivets
Your local airport should have them if you only need a few. What size and length?

Re: Aluminum Rivets
Make sure you buy solid rivets. Simple pop rivets will leak. If you look at the rivets in your boat you will not see the tell-tale hole you see in a pop rivet. Solid rivets must be "bucked" to be installed properly.
