Where can I get 3/32 countersunk blind rivets with a longer grip length than 1/8? Vans only seems to have RIVET CCR-264SS-3-2 or RIVET MK-319-BS, but these don't seem to be long enough for the thick areas in the 779 tail bottom skin, or other areas where skins overlap (and I want to use blind rivets because it's on a curve).

What length ccr rivets do you need?
Im sure i can get some for you from work.
Otherwise m&m aerospace or aviall should have them

I'm not sure what length i actually need... what's the maximum allowable thickness that can be riveted with a 3/32 blind rivet havig a grip length of 1/8?

The MK-319-BS has a max. grip length of 0.090 inches

in that case, those rivets should be fine... the thickness I have is just slightly less than that. It doesn't look long enough when I eyeball it, but maybe that's an illusion.
