Where to get rivets locally?

[Fred Trevvett]

Hello all, I'm after some large rivets...8mm dia X 15mm long (approx)

Only problem is I need them first thing tomorrow and they are too big for the screwstation etc to sell...any ideas what sort of companies would stock them and still be open at this time on a Saturday?

No idea really, have you tried Amazon they can do next day / same day on a lot of stuff.

I have but can't find anything that big that's available this weekend...

Anyway too late now. Have to postpone the job. I thought it was heading that way to be honest but thought I'd ask the question anyway

Thanks for looking

Hmm better not say, it's for work
All I will say is they are massive overkill but all the holes are already drilled at 8mm so I'm a bit stuck with 8mm rivets or thereabouts

There's only a couple near here but both had shut by the time I thought of them
