I need 100off 90deg 1/8 shank x 1" copper rivets. Ive tried all the obvious places but no one has them, or I have to buy 1000. Any known suppliers?

Sounds like an ideal upportunity to try your entrepreneurial skills

… Buy 1,000 and sell in small batches.

Something like this you were looking for Fizzy? Don't know if they will supply just 100 rivets though.

fizzy, you could do as I did (mine were 1/16&quot, take two bits of steel scrap, say 1/4" thick, clamp them side by side, and drill a 1/8" hole at the joint, and countersink it, drill through a couple of locating holes, then using 1/8" copper wire, away you go, clamp it in the vice, and whack it with a hammer, one rivet, start again—boring, but cheap.
