The Force 12 rivets are not your standard rivet.  They use a special kind as
I recall.  I had an XR5 here and though they may be available from some
other outlets, I ordered a bag of 100 from F12 back then.

##  They are closed end rivets..available at mcmaster carr..and also our local 
industrial  supply place here in town....
...at  1/2 the price  from F-12....and are identical.   They have steel 
mandrels.    These closed end types  are designed
for the purpose of preventing liquids  from leaking through the rivets.  The 
ones used with tubing  are slightly domed on top.  

## These closed end rivets are solid AL.    You can also get em in solid 
SS,,and also plane steel.   You can also get em with AL mandrels. 

##  These closed end rivets are not the same as what u see on aircraft...but 
are plenty good enough for ants.
