Eric and list,
For the ring of rivets on the extended smokebox of my Accucraft
C-16 I used Miniatures by Timberbrook TIM 20516 Miniature Nails, #20 x
5/16" I got a package at the craft shop meant for dollhouses probably.
I drilled a ring of the appropriate holes, soldered in the nails, cut off
the backs with a diagonal cutter and ground the end of the nail / solder
joint smooth with my Dremel.
The address on the package is Hovey Lane, So. New Berlin, NY 13843,
perhaps an internet search would turn them up there. The effect was
very satisfying to me except that they had to be spaced back from the
front of the smokebox enough to accomodate the flange of the smokebox
front.
hope this helps,
Tom
