Looking on the web I see Cherry, Avdel, Huck under the aerospace sites. Need to use hand riveter, don't have facilities for special tooling, (although may have to consider an air riveter for doing a whole chassis)
Advice welcomed

The technology in manufacturing these days has rendered the `pop rivet' a commodity item. I would say that your requirements (material, size, etc.)would come first.
