Trying to put AC shroud back together. Have 1/8th" holes. Can only find 1/8" by 1/4" or 1/8" by 1/2" aluminum rivets at Ace and HD. Of course I need 1/8" by 3/8". Tried using 1/2" grip, but rivet was loose. Any suggestions on where to find rivets locally? Or is it back to the Internet? Thanks. Jack
Keep looking locally or put a rivet washer on the backside to take up the slack. I get rivets from a variety of sources but Fastenal seems to have a lot of branches around, and will sell to the general public.

Why are we in this basket...and where are we going
Found them at Fastenal. Had put a washer behind 1/8" x 1/2", but still loose. Finally figured out the rivet gun "head" was too big to push tight against the AC shroud banding gap. The rivets are snug, but not tight. No major here since a watertight seal is not necessary since it is just the outside trim. Thanks again for the suggestions. Remodeled shroud cover pics to follow.
