I'm getting everything together to do the elevator spar reinforcement AD compliance and the only thing I need is the rivets. I measured the thicknesses of the hinge fittings, the spar, and the reinforcements, and they seem to need a 1/2" long rivet (AN442AD4-8). Univair only has these rivets up to -6. Does anyone have a source for those, or am I measuring something incorrectly?

Use AN470. The AN442 are really only for historical accuracy these days.
I don't see -8s, get -10 or -12 and cut them to length.
