Stainless steel pop rivets?

Can anyone point me to where I can buy some stainless steel pop rivets, for non-structural use on my firewall. I see that Vans sells some steel cherrymax rivets, but they seem to have regular steel shanks, not SS. I'd like them to have 1/8" diam shanks, approximately 4-5 16ths long. They could be either rounded top or flush (don't care which), but they MUST close up too (i.e. no hole where the shank was). Any sources for this?

I looked and they have closed end but only up to .25 grip length with SS/SS closed and SS/SS greater grip with open ends.

Good Luck
 
Thanks guys.

I also found a place called rivetsonline.com that seems to carry some. I called Vans and they definitely don't have them, sbut suggested the closed end steel shank ones..
 
The Murphy guys typically use a company called Hanson Rivets. They carry everything. Sometimes there is a minimum order. They carry closed end Avex Rivets, which Murphy uses on fuel tanks, but I've never seen a stainless steel closed end.
Best,
