So I cracked a stringer on my Mustang and have to replace it. 40 some odd 470s to drill out.
I've heard there are 4.5 dia rivets ie 9/64 in dia (.140) vs standard .120. Aircraft Spruce has had them in the past but doesnt now. Also nothing in Vans List. I'd like to not use 5s as they are a pita to buck in blind areas and thats what I have to do.
Anyone got any ideas where to find them and more importantly, what their nomenclature is? (note these are 470s, not 426s so NAS1097s are a non starter)
Thanks for any info.
