Closed end blind pop rivets

[woodnknots]

I'm trying to do some hull repair to my 78 Islander. I've got a few of the old rivets that have sheared off and I have to find a suitable replacement that doesn't require me to gut the boat to get a bucking bar in there to install solid rivets. So I found these nifty blind pop rivets that are made for just such a purpose, but the problem is I can't get any. I probably need 5 or 6, but I want to get about 20 or so in case I have anymore that break in the future. The rivets are closed end and made to keep water and vapor from passing. The whole is 5/32 and I need a grip range of about 1/4". Does anyone know where I can get some of these without putting in an order for a huge amount I'll never use nor can I afford?

Thanks,
Dave

Ayuh,... Google 'em...

McMaster & Carr, or Grainers maybe....

I buy at a local Bolt Shop, by the 100, in boxes...
I get the 3/16"X 1/4" grab...
