Rivets?

[nobber]

Anyone know a good online source? Most of the rivets I found locally look like they are made from toffee.

What sort of rivets do you want ? if it is the sort that are used in a series bonnet I got mine of ebay with the tool to set them and they look spot on.

Could they need annealing *waits for ?ho? to google*

 

[nobber]

Naa , they are just cheap rubbish ones, I need them for the sill door seals on a ninety among other things.
Has anyone ever bought genuine?

 

[daddy2coull]

I bought closed rivets for mine off ebay.

I get mine from an industrial fastener place in town, you must have one local to you.

You're only 25mins from me.. [expletive] I'd better move..

Seriously, well worth the trip. if you need stuff. they stock every conceivable size & type of fastener, drill, tap, tool, adhesives.. you name it.. they'll sell you one bolt if that's all you want..

 

[nobber]

No need to move, I don't get out much so your safe enough.
Sounds good, I had a quick google and found a place in Ipswich , but im not too fussed on Ipswich.
I did find these up the road from me. Metal Fastenings - Stanton, Suffolk | Anglia Stainless Ltd

I did think about DJ Evans, he's down by the theatre?

 

[MrNasty]

Yeah, near the plod shop, on a little one way road, they have loads of stuff in that old building.

 

[nobber]

Might give them a call , you guys don't know where I might be able to get a 19j lift pump locally do you?

Try Mansfield 4x4 if you want a new one, Craig or Ralph at the counter are pretty useful. Wicken 4x4 in Ely might have an old one, maybe.
