jdome 54 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Does anyone know of a source for brass or plain steel threaded rivets in #6 (or 1/8) screw size. I've checked Big Flats & Restoration Supply but can only find SS in #6 size. I want round head in a material that I can solder the nut to the threads so the nut won't back off.

Steve Hughes 11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 If you can't find any commercially made you might consider getting solid rivets and then using a tap to form the threads. Link to post Share on other sites
