  • Rivits for stamped ribs

    I am rebuilding a BC12D wing. I have already fabricated a new spar and am ready to start re-assembly.
    The original rivits where the ribs assemble at the spars are a flat head but not countersunk. They are not rounded universal head rivits. I have seen on this site a reference to a rivit supplier, but without knowing what the part numbers of the original rivits are or were, I have not been able to find anything that looks like the originals. Is there an AN or MS number?
    Any references would be appreciated.

    MS20442 or AN442 rivets have flat heads. Look a lot like a properly set shop head.

        Were they still using the steel hollow tube rivets like they used on the built up ribs?
