Cheers for 2007,

      In my hunt for 3/32" rivets of various lengths, I found almost 

everyone can provide 1/8" sorts but none smaller. The kit was issued with a 

plastic bag marked TAPK 336 which infers 6/16ths long but they were in fact 

5/16s at best.

        The 3/32" units are the ideal for many an anchor nut and other small 

tasks and are thus invaluable.

        I contacted D and D Aircraft Supply at:

Sales: 1(800) 468-8000 (USA)

Phone: 1(603) 926-8881

Fax: 1(603) 926-7855

Email: info(at)ddaircraft.com

and the agent answering told me she had 3/32" aluminum countersunk pop 

rivets from 3/16 to 1/2 inches long, by the pound [3000] of which the least 

size is 1/8 lb. for about $4.

        I thought you should know.

Fergus,



Thanks very much for your post! I've been trying to rivet the anchor 

nuts for the lower cowling and need much longer 3/32 rivets to do the job.

Thanks again!

I finally found some data on the T_P_ series of rivets at http://www.micometals.co.nz/PDF/fasteners/MICO_Rivets.pdf.  This at least helps you try to find the same size and material rivets at the usual US suppliers.  Unfortunately haven't found a data sheet for the No. 3 diameter.



I also learned that Aeroworks here in Michigan supplied hardware to Europa a few years ago and still has a lot of inventory.  They have inventory of some of the rivets.  Contact Dale Forton at 800-356-1671 or 616-527-1302.  Their website is www.aeroworks.com.



Having said all this, I try to purchase as much as is feasible from E04, just to help ensure that they are still around in the future.
