gamli Report post Posted August 3, 2018 Does anyone know of a source for 1/16 dia burr rivets. All of my searches have come up empty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockoboy Report post Posted August 12, 2018 Do you mean a copper peening rivet as pictured below? 1/8" is 3.18mm, which (without measuring) sounds like a No. 8 ... maybe. I have never heard of any smaller than that, but they might be easily available. If you can source some copper washers, you could make some out of copper wire.

gamli Report post Posted August 13, 2018 Yes those are the type. I am restoring a placard belt and the rivets I'm trying to replace are round head brass. I was trying to find replacement rivets without haveing to make them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
