Can someone point me in the direction of longer, 1 1/4" (& 1 1/2" x 1/8", copper rivets for the top stays in a Belpaire firebox. I know that PB could be used, but I would have to form a head at the inside end (using a nut) and that is already there with a rivet.

Thanks

Dave

Blackgates sell 5/32" x 2 1/2" according to their online catalogue ....

Plenty of sellers sell 1" long ones but nothing longer
