CherryMax Rivets for exterior which one to buy?
I have read the previous posts for exterior rivets and it seems like CherryMax is the rivet of choice when you can’t do a buck rivet (over Olympic). I am trying to order some but am struggling finding the right rivet. It sounds like 5/32 (unsure length) but does anyone have a part number or supplier that they like? A basic google search gives me a ton of different part numbers. Thank you.

Olympic rivets will look similar to the buck rivets that are on the exterior of the trailer, but I've used CherryMax rivets in less visible places. The part number will depends on the materials you want and the diameter & grip/thickness you need. This chart is what I reference when I am ordering them https://www.cherryaerospace.com/docs/ca ... A-1016.pdf. The gauge (269C3) they sell is nice to have to make sure your using the correct size. As far as where to buy https://www.aircraftspruce.com/ has been decent but sometimes I just google the part number to find someone who has it in stock.
