Can someone tell me the name and where to buy those temporary rivets/alignment things I see everyone using to hold the pieces as you drill all the holes?

Thanks, Bill

Tristate has them

They are called cleco's. They come in various sizes depending on what size rivets you are using. The four most common sizes are3/32 of an ince silver in color, 1/8 inch (copper), 5/32 of an inch (black) and 3/16 of an inch (brass,gold).You can order them from an outfit called aircraft spruce or maybe get some from an air conditioning duct manufacture. You will also need to get a pair of cleco pliers.

Summitt Racing has sets for $20 including the tool. They also sell extra Clecos. Buy extras. Also invest in an air riveter. Take it from someone with terminal tendonitis!
