    Default Part number for rivets used on flaperon's balancer?

    Does anyone know what the replacement part number from aircraft spruce for kf5 flaperon mass balance weight rivets? Kf is 3/32 x1/8 Monel p/n 90045-000. Do you use solid rivets on the rear rivets on balancer?

    It would look nicer if they are solids.

    Why not buy the rivets from Kitfox?

    I need the rivet now, aircraft spruce is 30 minutes from me, does make good sense to order, all I ask for was a part number

    I don't think ACS carries the 3/32 rivets. I can't find them in the catalogue.

    Oh, sorry, I thought was looking for solid. Well, anyways doing just a few solids are easy enough and finish off better.

    Here are some pull rivets...

    MSP-32 MD319BS = 3/32 x 1/8

    There's a flush head version farther down the chart as well, but it's stainless which is certainly usable too.
