Who can i bum some 1/8" rivets off of .. fast ... ?? Please help.

[chrisp929]

I got over eager and forgot to replace and fix three missing sold rivets on my 1977 Starcraft Holiday before i started to prime the boat this afternoon. I believe they are 1/8" solid rivets.

I know some of you guys already ordered way to many. I was hoping i could pay you via paypal, or send cash out first thing tomorrow for about 6 or so. What ever you got.

If i order online i have to buy a minimum amount, wait days for delivery, and charge my card for way to many rivets than i need.

I'm kind of in a rush since i already primed the first coat today. All is on hold until the rivets are fixed. Dang it. I plum forgot until i started painting and remembered the missing rivets when i came up on them.

DOH !

Was hoping one of you 'kind sirs who are gentlemen and scholars' could drop some off in the mail tomorrow for me ?
Would it be rude of me to beg ?

Oh damn!

That is where I got my last set. Wasn't sure what size I needed so I got 5-packs of 3 different sizes.

But again, not nearly as big as what you are asking for.

i edited my post . i only need 1/8 inch rivets . i measured the hole a moment ago . i was wrong about size ... i wish west marine would get their heads out of their butts .. every time i go there, one guy says NOPE, we dont carry those .. then i go back again a week later, and ask an old timer, and he goes in the back,checks, and pulls out exactly what i need. Dang it .. I could not find them myself in the hardware section .

..

100 peice box .. phew ! I need like 4 !
