I am not at all upset that AS posted a msg to our group. They don't harangue
us with ads, they don't get in arguments on-line, they simply offered
information on a live topic. Yes, I too am not happy about the Big Brother
idea either.
I think everyone on here except me is certain they are talking about the
specific correct rivet needed for the Kolb wings. I read a story about a guy
who used rivets with the correct metal in the rivet, the correct shaft dia.,
the correct head diameter, but they didn't work because the lower edge of
the rivet heads was sharp and cut through the fabric. I am probably the only
one who is not certain that we are all talking apples/apples with all the
different sourced rivets.
I agree with Charlie's statement earlier. I am guessing that the cost of the
rivets is high because it isn't a standard item. I am guessing they just
don't sell tons of them. They have to keep track of the parts via computer
and warehouse, they have to pay flooring costs to have them on hand, the
have to physically store them... then try to make a profit w/o alienating
everyone in sight.
