Closed End blind rivets

Seems that the boat I bought has some leaky rivets. Anyone know a place around the Cornwall area that I can find some aluminum/aluminum 3/16 closed end blind rivets? Thanks in advance.

Heya Steve. I would think that local marinas would carry them. You may also be able to repair those rivets with a bucking tool instead of replacing them. Or even use those aluminum epoxy sticks that you melt with a torch. I had good luck with that many years back and it's still holding up fine. Cheers

Tried a few marinas around and they do not seem to have any. Thx for the suggestions.

Found a place in Montreal that has some in stock. Should have them tomorrow. If anyone needs some, I got 100 and won't need all of them. Let me know.

These rivets are available at Aklands- Grainger if you have one close by. Just for future ref.

No Aklands-Grainger near by but thx. Rivets came in yesterday. I ordered 100 but they shipped me 500, so if anyone ever needs any, give me a shout.

I bought a package of these from Brofasco in Nepean. If anyone in the Ottawa area needs some I have extra.
