Rivets

BOLTBARN stock an extensive range of rivets for every application and material. Although bolting is the most common form of fastening there are many times because of access to the back of a job where riveting is the best option. Rivets are low cost, very versatile and extremely reliable

Rivets come in a vast array of sizes and generally are identified by the two number code on the packaging.
