I called Rivets in stock....they dint have any in stock....go figure
I had four sizes.... they were out of all of them.
i am looking for all aluminum closed end blind rivets with a round head.
two lengths in 3/16ths dia
and two lengths in 1/4" dia
the lengths were .020-.125
and .126-.250
I looked elswhere.. but most places were closed already, others wanted to sell 5000
and others had a min order of $50, but they might of had only one or two sizes..( he offered to sell me 50 each of 2 different sizes for $50. I told him id pass.
I know the 1/4 dia is a tough one to find...
I think i want the larger size to clean up some holes. some previous owners on my boat butchered a bunch of holes and I figure if i open them up to .250 Ill have nice round clean holes...
and i dont want a steel mandrel..
or id prefer NOT to have one
if I have to to...then ill guess ill cover the rivet well with 5200 and paint over it... this boat will be used exclusively in salt water.
anyone know of a source for less than 100 rivets in 1/4' dia all aluminum closed end blind rivets9 also called sealing blind rivets)
thanks
