well they make them but I can't find them, I bought some # 14 and they are to small for what I am doing, I have some in the basement ( my little shop ) that are to big and I don't know if they are # 9 or #12 ( the top is 1/2 in diameter and the post is 1/8 '' )  the one I'm looking for has a top that is 3/8 diameter and the post looks to be 1/8 '' also  what size does this sound like to you  ?

This is for black aluminum. The ones markes 3/16 blind are what you are seeking. They have grey as well but it is not gun metal grey. https://www.chicagoscrews.com/Black-Aluminum-Chicago-Screws

usbind.com should have the chicago screws you're looking for in black.  I've ordered from them.  The screws are made in USA, excellent quality, but pricey.  I use copper rivets now because they're about 3.5 times less expensive, and I feel stronger, but if I ever need chicago screws for the more refined look, I'll be ordering from these guys again.

thanks, I will look into USBind about the chicago screws , I have already ordered # 14 rivets from rivets online only because they don't carry # 13 anymore and they were a little to small for my little tool holders  so I guess I will get some # 12's and see if that is the right size that I am looking for
