I'm rebuilding a pair of taillights for my '34 Master Coupe using buckets, brackets and mounting plates fron various sources. The sockets, bezel mounting brackets and the chrome bits are all held there by tiny brass rivets. Are those commercially available and what are they called? What I mean here, do they have a particular name?
Best Regards, Pat

If you know of someone that deals with McMaster-Carr Supply, they might be able to help.
A local machine shop for instance.

I’m not familiar with the particular rivet that xx is talking about. Often, small rivets that are used to hold sheet metal parts or lightly loaded parts together are tubular rivets or if there is a hole all the way thru the rivet, eyelets. These can be hard to fine in small sizes from local suppliers. Although I buy from McMaster several times a month I’ve found suppliers of small tubular rivets like Hanson to be the best. http://www.hansonrivet.com/ Small eyelets on the other hand can be a real Bear to find and I’ve often had to make my own from brass tubing to complete a repair on antique radio parts that I was restoring.
