1/16 Burr Rivets

[gamli]

Does anyone know of a source for 1/16 dia burr rivets. All of my searches have come up empty.

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.

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.

Try searching outside of leather work items.
