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?

TIA

Steve

Countersink a hole in a steel plate, harden, drop in a dome rivet and hit
it hard.

Repeat.

Just get a riveting steel grade rod and fill the countersink by riveting.

the road!
