Copper Rivets

Where can I buy them

[Vincent CutajarParticipant @vincentcutajar96446]

Hi

 

I am looking for 1/32″ copper rivets. My usual UK supplier of model engineering goods has only brass rivets of that size.

 

Could somebody please direct me to a UK supplier (who deals with overseas orders).

 

Thanks in advance

I was just going to ask the same question a year on… but I see Jason's answer and went to GLR.

I've decided rivets will be better than solder for making up a sheet brass fabrication.

If you need the fabrication to be watertight then tin the mating surfaces with soft solder before riviting then sweat them together once all the rivits have been hammered home, thats what makes this brass fabrication watertight.

Jason!!! Stop posting pictures of stuff like that, it spoils my day

I just checked my email and I note that GLR have acknowledged my order and refunded me some excess postage.

Looks as though you got it silver plated as well, very nice work all the same. Ian S C

Silver plate? Jason only works in pure tungsten!
