1800: Rechroming 1800 1/4 light frames and replacement rivets

[Derek UK]

Ref your pic, I don't think that a pop rivet would protrude much more than the tubular one shown, it's what is on the other end that matters, as that usually ends up as a small ball.
Search for semi tubular or just tubular, rivets to see what is available.
Clevedon fasteners? Any sources at work?

We use a fair amount of rivets that are set and of a diameter suitable for this job. However, Simon at Brookhouse sent me two samples and 191644 is perfect. I have a peen/swage tool that fits between the frame that will create the swage and a counter set i used on some leather work a few years ago. Going to be interesting holding the frame and ****ing it but im sure i can rope someone in!
