[QUOTE="crkdltr, post: 214804, member: 1225"] Order from here: https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-rivets/=d8u3g4 [ATTACH type="full" alt="rivet.GIF"]26753._xfImport[/ATTACH] The thing that's going to be hard to come by is an air-hammer and the right driving bit. Make sure if you get brazier rivets you get a brazier setter. I have a standard rivet setter but had brazier rivets. It worked but it marked up the rivets. I ended up going to Lowes and found a Air Chisel with a quick change chuck that the rivet setter fit in. Cost about $50 - $60 vs the $150+ Air Hammers. I used a 5 pound maul and a piece of rail road track as a "buck" or backing. [/QUOTE]
