Woo Hooo!!! Out of Rivets

Postby kmacht » Wed Jun 26, 2013 8:02 pm

Well you know you are getting close to finishing when you finally run out of CCP-42 rivets. I need to order some more 42 and 44's. Is sonex still the best place to get them? I know they are probably the cheapest but I have heard a number of reports of the stems breaking off above the rivet head. Anybody have a souce for the older ball style rivets? I thought I remember someone posting a place to buy them but can't find message on the yahoo groups.

Try your local Fastenal. They carry CCP42s and CCP44s and seem to be of good quality. But if buying a lot, I'd go ACS or Wicks.
