Cherry MAX rivets

[Sonex1243]

Any particular vendor to purchase 1/8" nominal and oversize cherry max rivets? Been looking at ACS, wicks and cherry aerospace, so far, ACS is the cheapest.

Ken,
I got all mine from ACS.

Thanks Bryan, will stick with them. Time to start counting holes on the flaps and ailerons to correct my goof up!

Haven't check lately, but last time I bought rivets Sonex was actually the cheapest!

Hi Bruce;
You are correct! Unfortunately, I have to go with the cherry max since I had aggressively deburred the flaps and aileron parts leaving a bevel on the perimeter of all my holes. Luckily, up sizing to an oversized rivet will be the fix along with Sonex tech concurrence. $300 in rivets beats $900, or more, in parts plus more man hours for complete replacement. A humbling lesson learned..
