<div>Since it is quiet on the list.... I will see if there are ideas for several different rivet jobs I have in the future. This is Deere stuff, ca. 1936 to 1945, clutch pulley brakes, service brake on a BR, and something else that escapes my mind right now. Some holes are larger than they were original, ... and with the different projects, I need a variety of diameters, and lengths. I have the brake lining, just need to cut to length. I have a very old thing to make a big drill into a drill press, that I think will work well to set the rivets. If I still lived in Santa Maria, I would take to Coast Clutch and Brake, but my basic research up here indicates the closest shop for riveting like I need is 250 miles away. </div>

</div>
<div>So, question #1, .... is there a source for rivets without having to buy 100 at a time? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Question #2, .... I think I will need at least three different countersinks. I bought some brake rivets from the Model A Ford place, and they had a countersink for those..... basically looked like a dulled down spade bit. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If that is what it takes, I can buy a couple of bits that are close, and use my grinder and a file to make them look like the countersink from the Model A Ford place.</div>

<div>Thanks in advance for reading. Take care,</div>
