| Anybody have a source for correct center support tube rivets that's cheaper than $2 each? |
|
I make my own from flat head rivets I bought from McMaster-Carr. The rivets are to long, to big in diameter and the head is bigger than the standard center support rivet. So I chuck them in a drill press and turn them down with a file so the dimensions are close to the standard center support rivet. Takes a little time but you get around 55 rivets for $10.21 which includes shipping which comes to $0.19 each. The first one I used was on my current build (AMD-65) and it came out great.  If you want to try this let me know and I'll post the dimension of the K-VAR rivet. |
