3/16 copper pop rivets

[DozerII]

For the past three months I have been trying to find 3/16 copper pop rivets in a1/4-3/8 grip range. A couple places list them but have no stock. One place says they had them so i ordered through paypal. After waiting and emailing for over a month I put in a claim with PayPal (pending resolution) Any of you guys have a supplier in mind?

All I see on line is copper colored pop rivets.

Are you looking for real copper?

Do you need a lot of them?

Do they need to be pop rivets?

Are they for decorative purposes only?

If you can get creative, maybe leather working rivets are an option.

Thanks for the reply skip, I would prefer copper, and they have to be pop rivets. I have no access to the back side. I intend on using them to attach the roof skin to the frame. I'm looking for about 200.

Copper with steel mandrel.

Tacoma screw has the same as everyone else 1/8 diameter in two grip lengths no 3/16

Finally I found them, had to order 4.8mm same as 3/16 and they are closed end waterproof coming from England. [cl[cl

Nope there are a couple reasons, the Fargo was one and I had a little accident at work. I'm waiting for an MRI but the specialist thinks I tore the posterior ACL on my left knee and that was my good knee. Grrrrr

OH boy! Good luck with the knees... as a fellow limper, it ain't no fun...

I guess it does... just sooner than I expected!


Dozer, where will you get your MRI? Just curious, given the "efficiency" of our health system.

Sorry to hear that Dozer - hopefully it's not bad.

Saskatoon, interestingly enough WCB seems to be able to manipulate the system pretty well. The specialist I got into see in 4 days has a 3-4 month waiting list. The MRI I had on my right knee took four months of waiting, this one took 10 days and my follow up visit to the specialist is two days after that.

Thanks Bill, I'm hoping the same.
