Rivets for elevator chain
Permalink  

I had planned to replace all the flaps on my elevator chain for a No. 7 New Idea picker. I found that the rivets have a step down shank. One dia. to go through the rubber and a smaller dia. to go through the link and rivet. Any one seen this type of rivet or know where I could find some?

Both my No. 7 pickers have steel paddles.  I wonder if yours got upgraded, the No.10 lists rubber paddles, the rivets listed are:

Part number K3305, but seem to be a straight 7/32"x3/4"

 

What are the diameters on your rivets?

That is interesting. It may have been upgraded before my dad bought it back in the 60's. This machine had been used very little so that is supprising.

I will get the dia. on the rivets and post soon.

Thanks, Byron

The rivets have a 3/8 shaft for 3/8" then the shaft reduces to 1/4 inch.

Finally thought of the "correct" name for them, shoulder rivets.

 

A quick search came up with a bunch of manufacturers but unless you want them by the 1000 it wasn't much help. Other than some listed for specific automotive glass uses with no dimensions listed.
