Jase Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I normally pick up pop rivets at shows and actually have no idea of the correct size are they 1/8x 1/4? If so where do you buy these in moderate bulk? Don’t fancy paying 60p each for a rivet. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Most of the rivets at shows and on Ebay tend to be metric. 3.2mm is apprx 1/8" and so on. If you want a good choice of imperial then aerospace suppliers should be handy but ££££££ https://www.lasaero.com/products/article/C044A3HN5 What is it exactly that you want Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted March 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Thanks Roger, to be honest I think I only need rivets for attaching poppers to the body and the strip for the seal at the top of the hood, I have a TR5 hood frame plus of course the webbing. I believe they are all of the same size. Always handy to have more for future use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Jase, I think I have a part box of 1000 black pop rivets somewhere. I used them to attach the plastic papers on TR6 deck sections years ago. I will go hunting and check size for you. If they are right for you I can post some, knowing I will never use them all. Postage cost only would be the price. will pm you once I have found them. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
