Brett,

Do you mean blind rivets ? That is without a hole right through or do you require solid rivets.You can also obtain rubber washered rivets.

Blind rivets.

You will have no trouble in sourcing these.

I use DJ Evans in Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich fixings and fasteners in Ipswich but you will obtain them at most good engineering biased shops.
