I bet that they are 6.35 mm or 1/4 inchthey use them in coach building and holding bmw window mechs to the doors 6.4mm actually , a pair of lazy tongs will pull them.
I need some 6mm diameter countersunk pop rivets but I’m struggling to find some. Ideally I want them in stainless but I’ll settle for anything at this point. Does anybody know of a supplier?
Cheers guys.
That's some BIG rivet. Have you got the equipment to pull them up?

I just lent one of these to my youngest, he then messaged me to say the rivets didn't fit but he could just about set them with his own rivet toolSealey AK3983 Medium Arm Riveter Blind & Structural Rivet Gun 6.4mm 1/4" | eBay

I missed this message but the caught the next one where he realised the different sized tools were in the bottom of the collecting pot just after he had set 40 or so with his simple squeezy tool
At least his muscles got a workout
Paint sprayer opposite me has a cheaper version of this riveter from ebay - it has rotating head - it has done loads of work and was only about £15.
Pretty sure we've a box of 6mm s/Steel Wurth rivets, how many do you need ?
Do not be tempted to buy a silverline lazy tongs riveter, far from the optimistic 6mm capacity it stripped its jaws after just one 1/8" rivet.
I could have shat & stamped in it!
