Hi all you Experts -

Apologies for duplication (posted this on TOL).
Who supplies blind rivets (those without the shear-off head)? These were recommended by another special builder, because they don't leave loose rivet heads rattling around thwe chassis tubes.

Thanks for your input, guys. Have since found a couple of possible sources here in Brum. Will check them out later this week.
