Rivet order...

[Ted Waltman]

Here's what I ordered today from Crawford Products
(http://www.crawfordproducts.com/avex.htm#lowprofile):

1661-0410 1,000 $15.90

1661-0414 1,000 $17.00

1661-0512 1,000 $23.00

1682-0415 500 $11.50

1661-0613 200 $4.08

1661-0619 200 $4.80

These are all the low-profile head as listed in the Avdel catalog. I talked
to the sales person, who was looking at his new Avdel catalog as we spoke;
he did -- not -- show any dome head rivet in the latest catalog.

When I receive the rivets next week I'll post my rivet quality impressions
vs the ones that I have from Murphy.

The above prices are almost 1/2 the quoted price from Hanson Rivet Supply.
The price for the 3/16" rivet, 1661-0613 for qty of 200 from Aircraft Spruce
is $14.40! I don't know how Crawford is selling the rivets for such a low
(relative) price. Maybe when I get them I'll be thrilled; maybe I'll be
screwed. At any rate, I'll let the list know what I find.

Thanks again for those of you that provided input on this issue.

Ted
