Rivets
Just looking to buy the rivets to attach the floor etc. Appear expensive little things! Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced supplier?
Thanks Ken |

I got the ones (size recommended by saturn) for my floor and they were from screwfix and worked out really cheap. about £5 for 500

rivets
Hi Ken, I'll echo that, Screwfix Item code: 14233 Pop Rivet 3.2 x 10 - Pack of 500 for £ 5.28. After Boyes' el cheapo riveter fell to bits half way through rivetting, I bought the forged steel one from Screwfix, hell of a lot better. Dave.

mmmm iv been researching this quite a bit between here and locostbuilders.
and i came to the conclusion closed end, alloy rivets were the way to go Bonzo's link http://www.shop4fasteners.co.uk/acat...d_Rivets.as p about £25 delivered though, a bit more expensive. what do other peepe think? |

Sealed rivets would be my personal choice.
Perhaps a couple of builders could get together & split a box

I like your thinking Bonzo! Now i have another dilema though - aluminium mandrel, steel mandrel, stainless steel mandrel - too many choices!
