Perhaps someone can help.

 

Does someone out there know an engineering supplies place in Australia that
may have "drive rivets".  These are a type of blind rivet, ie for use when
you only have one sided access.  There is a tapered pin down the centre and
the pin head projects.  One inserts the rivet and hammers the pin head down
flush which causes the tapered tail end of the pin to spread out the far end
of the rivet locking the rivet in place.

 

Southco in the USA make these.  Perhaps someone locally supplies them.

 

The need arises from having to rivet up (5/32" size) in a tight space where
ordinary pop rivets are very very hard to work with.  Of course if I was
smarter I wouldn't have designed the trailer feature such as I would need
specialised rivets.

 

Cheers
