Europa Aircraft is apparently the only North American source for TAPK33BS
rivets. The equivalent Cherry N Rivet nomenclature for 120 deg c-sink head
rivets would be BSC-33 (In order: B = 5056 Al alloy body, S = steel shank, C
= 120 deg. c-sink head, 3 = 3/32 in diam, 3 = 3/16 grip lgth) but I have not
been able to find a source for that size and style. Aircraft Spruce in
nearby Corona, CA would be ideal for me but they are not able to provide an
equivalent (I asked). The closest thing I found (which I did not buy) is
---From http://www.ddaircraft.com whose entire product listing for countersunk
pop rivets is shown below. Note: these have an Al shank, not steel.

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.
