revets

Does any one have a good place to buy #9 x 11/32 tubular  rivets for the brake lining on a 29 franklin?  Thanks

I haven’t looked up your rivets specifically but McMaster Carr has just about everything you could want. Their online catalog and mail order service is the worlds largest hardware store.

You really should have this done professionally.  They do excellent work, quickly and very reasonable price.  I can't remember the name but it has been in other posts.

If you have the tools you can do it fairly easily. A brake shop can do the job for a reasonable price also.

Thanks I do have the rivet machine and counter sinker, just no rivets

You might try Big Flats Rivet in Big Flats, NY.

Ok thanks Ill give them a try, shipping can some times kill the deal. Thanks again

Do you have any friction shops around that  might have what you need.

Maybe Pacific Brake in Spokane

I called a few places in Spokane and nothing. I did not think tubular rivets were that old, but most people did not know what I was even talking about! Hansons Rivets in Calf. was good. With more calling I found some older farmers that enough between them to work. Thanks for all the help and info. Roger
