No Longer Wanted: Blind Black Rivets
Looking for Black Blind Rivets - can anyone point me in the right direction?
Prefer 3.2mm but not vital.
Cheers.

I just spoke to NF Auto - they said that they were open - i.e had a hole in the middle. Do I need to call them back?

Speak with Primary Fasteners.
You can't get black anodised closed rivets due to the manufacturing process, that said there is another type which I can't remember,
Morgan Sports Cars use them, so I figured they where good enough for me! At least that was what the guy from Primary Fasteners said.

Tim, if you are after captive head (or closed) blind rivets to stop chassis tube moisture ingress, you could use standard open blind rivets but dip
the ends in a sealant before you insert and pull them - this will have much the same effect. This way you can use black ones from NF.

Yep I am using the captive headed primaryfastner ones, and one of his hand seting tools. Both are really good, unlike the cheapo pop-rivets and guns.
But as said the rivets are not closed, but do retain the head well. I have diped them in PU sealant before setting to ensure they seal..
