Rivets.
Gooday all.
I was wondering if some one on the forums can help me locate some rivets.
I think they are called "kinsman or kinsmen".
They are a solid aluminium rivet that have to be set.
I am after 5/32" approx 3/8" and 1/2" long.
Thanks for all help.
This is also posted in "Nothing to do with woodwork forum".

Hi Robbo,
I believe they are more commonly called Brazier Solid Rivets. Brazier being the low domed head profile. I think the naming is another US of A thing.
They are also available in several other profiles.
Below are a couple of places that stock that sort of stuff.

If it were me, I would first try Nepean Boltmaster.
I am usually surprised by the oddball stock they carry.

"Tinsman's" rivets - 'cause they were used by tin workers.
Now, if you were able to use 'iron' or galvanised 'iron' flat head rivets, I might be able to help. 1/8" (3mm) you can use common clout nails & a pair of mini bolt cutters. For 3/16" I'd say, 'Flat or domed? 1,000 or 9,000? - in the green toolbox in the shed.
