Hello Sir:

Try Aerofab Inc. They are in Arizona, and they will turn up first on a yahoo search. I used to work there.

Hi Harold

It's just a Spitfire - use pop rivets

Because is is a Spitfire I wish to do the job right John=)=)=)
Birddog reg the sizes I am looking for a 3/16" dimple die set for our 2BA screws we need to install. If you are clearing out any stock then a 120degree countersink bit would be great as well however not critical.

Hi Harold

You are such a perfectionist - I seem to remember a fellow countryman of yours restored a couple of japanese machines with plastic bog and pop rivets.

Seriously - how are you - are you over your posting yet - how is the Spit going ?

Regards
