yes, i emailed the distributer again this morning asking what happened on their end of things, as they dropped the ball.

Response was as follows:

Brass Flat Rivets
3/32 x 3/8" length under the head

This is the shortest they have, so i GUESS some dremmeling would be required to make the length .234375 inches it needs to be (1.5 x shaft diameter + material height).  I suppose I could ask around to other suppliers.  So far, I've struck out with two places now all saying they don't have them short enough.  I'm not yet sold that these don't exist, so not sure i'm going to move on that deal just yet.

What do you guys think?  Anyone wanna dremmel 100 rivets to length and pass them out?

Personally if it was me I'd get the samples and see how they look. If others want to go in on them it would be THEIR responsibility to drill their own rivets or whatever they have to do to make them work in their situation. Just my opinion.

csa3d - Any word on the sample rivets yet?

Yes, I'd like to know as well ! All my projects are currently on a (very temporary) hold but I'd love to be able to include these.
csa3d:
Well, no.  I'm officially on vacation starting Monday, so I'm hoping my time off allows me to field this issue as well.  So far I'm gathering that these simply don't exist in the *length* we need.  I'm thinking I'm going to buy a box and see about cutting them to the length I need with a rotory tool.  I'm assuming they will still work after cuttings, after all, they are a very small pipe in essence.  If this works out, I'm considering cutting them and taking orders or just sending them too big and letting everyone else deal with them.

The reason I am giving up, is because I've emailed many places, and the folks who've gotten back to me thus far keep saying they check with their distributers and no one seems to make them in our specific length.

Would you guys be interested in the above mentioned options?
