Good source for a few oops rivets? Only need a dozen or so. Not a pound.
I have lots. Happy to unload some. I got lucky and only used one or two.Good source for a few oops rivets? Only need a dozen or so. Not a pound.
No point and I don't think they exist - use a regular rivet of the next size up.Thanks guys. I need round head rivets, not countersunk.
Concur. I bought a bunch of them but wound up just putting regular rivets in my oops holes. Sometimes I have to proactively search for them when I'm showing my build progress to others. Can't imagine they'll matter at all once paint is on.No point and I don't think they exist - use a regular rivet of the next size up.
Cheeries come in half sizes if that is what you really want.

Who supplies them? I need 3/32s.FWIW -
NAS1242AD(D)-(L) do come in the -3 size (7/64/.109")

If you have 6 of the oversize 3/32 at least dash 3 in length I could sure use them. General Aircraft has no stock at the moment and 1/4 pound minimum.That’s not correct. They do exist. Plus it’s a -4 and going to a -5 is a hog of a hole that may not be necessary. Not to mention that if the OP doesn’t have a rivet set to drive a -5 round head.
Sir you need a NAS1242 rivet. A -4 of this size is driven with a regular rivet set for 1/8” rivets. The shank will be 9/64 which is halfway between a 1/8 and a 5/32
Order from General Aircraft hardware. Get long ones and cut to length. If you only need a couple I’ll put a stamp on some and send you a few.

It is for an elevator trim tab on a Glasair Sportsman. Original owner of the project didn't get it quite right.I have oversized for -4 round head rivets.
I honestly can’t think of where there are -3 round head rivets used in my kit. Normally anywhere that calls out a round head rivet it’s a -4. What exactly are you putting together that uses a -3???
As I mentioned before the half oversized save a lot of material from a -4 to a -5 plus not needing a 5/32 rivet set. For something this small Unless you don’t have the edge distance then I’d just drill 30 and use a regular-4 rivet.
