Model Forum / General / Models / October 2009I'm in Bother (Again) - Rivets this time
I told my dad I'd track down some rivets for his current restoration project. I'm in bother a) because I haven't and b) because I forgot all about it. He's after some steel rivets which are countersunk head in steel, 3/4 overall length with a pin diameter of 1/8th. I've found flat heads and dome heads but no countersunk heads. Only need a couple of dozen, so a bag of 50 is ample. but now the jobs stopped... ANy where I should look to get some quick?
