Source of square shank countersunk copper nails

Hello all,

Does anyone know the best place to source square shank countersunk copper nails and roves for boat building. Mostly 12 gauge, inch and a half.

Thanks.

I know you can get them from the UK http://www.davey.co.uk/davey_and_co_products.html this is what they have http://www.davey.co.uk/pdf/fastenings.pdf You can also get then on ebay but the shipping is a killer http://www.ebay.ie/sch/jackson-marine/m.html?hash=item460d95d269&item=300875633257&pt=UK_DIY_Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ&var=&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2562 I will do a bit of ringing around and see what I can find, I know the guys in the Skerries rowing club were using them the other day

Thanks Fergal.
I'd thought or CH and MarineParts but forgot all about Union. I'll give them a call tomorrow.
As always, you've played a blinder.

btswales.co.uk have them also. £30/kg including roves. I bought from them recently and they are decent to deal with. Can't recall shipping but we had other bits and pieces in the order (ribs) so it wouldn't be indicative anyway.

Thanks kfod. Just popped them off a mail to inquire about delivery costs.
