Yesterday I sent a short e-mail message to the folks at Emhart regarding
those hard to find TAPK33BS rivets, and today they responded first by
telephone and just now with a visit by my local sales representative. I now
have a copy of their latest catalog and a CD-ROM with their "Designer's
Guide to Fastening Technology" (more information than I will even need). In
my post to the forum yesterday I gave the phone numbers for their North
American locations; call any of these to find a local retail outlet for
their products.
For Shaun Simpkins (and probably others): the sales rep said that they are
getting numerous complaints about their annoying web site and that there is
a meeting coming up in a few weeks where this will be one of the topics on
the agenda.
Best regards,

Subject: U.S. equivalents?
Cheers to American cousins:
(Brit buddies can resume the pint.)
I have here a small packet of TAPK33BS pop rivets (of an original
65) which are used mostly for rivetting the captive nuts to composite walls
(noted as anchors for the inspection panels abounding).
I have not been able to duplicate this side - I have RCAF
equivalents by the score but none so small.
Does anyone have the U.S. equivalent and source?
Much appreciated.
