Ok, so I am deep into the trunk refurb, not restoration. The press board
components, the side panels and the one hiding the fuel cross over tube were
literally falling apart. So I have made new ones for an oak veneer panel
plywood material a bit more than 1/8 inch thick. Not difficult but time
consuming.  Right now I am searching for something I do not know the name of
which really, really, makes it hard to find. The side panels in the trunk
have angle brackets attached to them with what on the surface look like real
rivets. Closer inspection however, shows that they  are a split pin of some
sort that after being pushed through the hole and angle are bent over, akin
to cotter pins, only with flat little legs.  Just what the dickens are these
critters called? And where short of an old Spitfire airplane factory am I
gonna find them?  5q are needed. I can as a last resort install some 3/16
rivets to get me by but real thing is preferred. 

Suggestions?
