Hello Forumites.
I need help (so my wife tells me). This time with AGS rivets. It seems that every now and then some AGS rivets were phased out and were replaced in production lines with and equivalent rivet, either AS or SBAC?
Now, my question is, how do you find out what AS rivet replaced what AGS rivet?
If I could find a copy of AP1086 (anyone out there have a digital copy they can send me?? :love-struck: ) would it tell me what I want to know? I’m hoping that within AP1086 I can find the AGS rivet numbers I want (assuming the AP1086 is old enough, like 1942 vintage) and then go through AS rivets one by one till I find one that is equivalent in dimensions/head angles/material.
Unless someone has an easier way of doing this, then I’m all ears!
Thanks in advance,
Graham

Bobby,
I would love to get a copy of Brown Bros and DH AGS parts info, will send PM
AGS 972 and AGS 500 from the WW2 period, and a Concession Note from DAP (Australia) relating to substitution of AGS 972 for AGS 500 have been digitized courtesy of ANAM Moorabbin Archives and will be loaded ‘by Christmas’ on the Standards page of silverbiplanes.com From these datasets you can navigate to SBAC equivalents.
There is also another DAP chart dealing with substitution of AGS screws and fasteners with more commonly understood British Standard equivalents, as well as more British Standard ‘A’ standards from the the late 20’s through to WW2.
