Default 3/32 blind rivets

in the past few weeks there was a post about the countersunk blind rivets in 3/32 that vans uses for nutplates on the 12 but with a grip of up to .25. the post said acs had them but were out of stock. when i checked acs only carried aluminum rivets in that length.

bottom line does anyone know where i can get the 3/32 rivet like vans supplies but in a longer grip and not aluminum. these are just for nutplates.

You will need to see if these meet your grip requirements, but they are in stock:

Check with Sonex - they have a few fairly long ones.

Try Skygeek.com. CCR264-CS-3-04 or -05 will work.

Please forgive my curiosity; why the need for stainless instead of aluminum to hold nutplates?

Exactly. No reason to use stainless.

Don' t need stainless but they are available because most certified applications use stainless.

i am looking for stainless steel because that is what vans uses. and as flimsy as the s.s. 3/32 rivets seem i can only imagine what i would think of aluminum.

Not blind, but I find that the NAS1097AD3 work pretty well for holding nutplates. With the small head, they're easy to countersink in thin metal.
