Hi everyone

Im trying to find some copper slipt rivets. So far all that I can find is brass and steel.

I need them to have the following size.

Head dia. 3/8"
Shaft dia. 3/16"
Length 1/2"

Any help is much appreciated.

I need them for various parts on the Carrier.

Are you going to be at the OMVA show. If so can you bring them and I will check them out. Thanks

Hi Jordon,
Try a search for bifricated rivets I think that is the correct term for what you are searching for.

So what are "Slipt" rivets? Not surprising this stuff doesn't turn up on a "surch Injun"!
