Re: [VACList] Rivets

Randy , and others ,
 I have the inner skin down , just bought an e-3 rivet gun and bucking bar ,
looking for buck type rivets . I can find  them here

But I dont know what to ask for .
    I think I want hard alum ( they have little dimple on head , theres some of
those visable on trailer . Once I read rivets were kept frozen so they would
stay soft until hammered in , but I dont know if thats for space shuttles .
That might be a problem with shipping .
   Are  there any airframe mechanics that know about these things ?
