Aircraft Spruce, http://www.aircraftspruce.com , the supplier of choice
for the world of homebuilt aircraft, is the best source for Cleco products
of all sizes and types. The simple ones you mention are available for $
.42 each and the manual pliers which are used to install and remove them are
about 5 bucks. I've used them for everything including reskinning a metal
building. Look under "sheetmetal" in their online catalog. Their 600 page
paper catalog is a gold mine of information on material, tools, fiberglass,
etc. They even have a special catalog for auto racers. It's a great place
to order AN hardware and they have a leakdown tester that's an amazing
bargain, etc . . .
