May I preface this posting by saying that I did not hacksaw this part off nor did the person I acquired it from!

The purpose of the posting is twofold:-

1. I am trying with difficulty to source some suitable rivets to secure the plate with. I believe that they are aluminum 1/16" x 3/8" flat head. Have looked at quite a few of the model engineering suppliers but no flat-heads.

2. If the sawn-off bit is of any use to anyone, it's available (sans instruction plate).

I read that and immediately could hear the opening chords of "Air on a G String"

Would it not be fairly simple to turn a domed head rivet into a flat head one?

I make my own rivets by turning down screws, bolts etc.
