Title: 7mm blind rivets
Post by: jayarr on January 08, 2022, 09:55:37 AM
Hi all,

I'm Restoring an Alfetta GTV, which has what appears to have 7mm diameter blind rivets attaching the bonnet and hatch hinges. Has anyone found a good source for purchasing them?

I've seen rivets available at 6.4mm diameter, thoughts whether likely to work ok?

I suspect that the rivet for the hatch (which is the actually the pin for the hinge) needs to be steel, rather than aluminium.

Cheers, John

Try Dafra - https://www.dafra.com.au/  They are located in Braeside.

I have purchased various aircraft quality solid aluminium rivets from them - good service - can purchase over the counter.

Understand they stock steel rivets.
