16xx vs 14xx rivets

[Ted Waltman]

I've purchased a lot of the 16xx rivets from Crawford Products. I'm very pleased with them. I believe that the Avdel rivets are made in one of two locations: the UK or somewhere like North Carolina. I seem to recall that I read/heard that the UK ones are of somewhat higher quality, though I can't imagine why that might be. Nonetheless, I recall checking with the folks at Crawford Products--they get their Avdel rivets from the UK (AFAIK that is). For folks in the U.S. the rivets from Crawford Products don't incure the customs fee of course. Also, they are less expensive than the comparable rivets from Murphy. At some point in the last 6 months or so, I posted a 14xx to 16xx cross-reference chart to the list here.
