I played with my rivet gun today. The rivets are 5/8 head, 3/16" tri-split, 1" long.
Screws...  Rivets...  (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.duckworksbbs.com-10496-1390097320.1.jpg)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.duckworksbbs.com-10496-1390097320.2.jpg)Similar to these, but my head is a little bigger. Now I have to do the other side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |

I would use screws. Actually I would use Dzus but screws are better than rivets. Easier to remove fenders to work on suspension, brakes, etc. Use nut plates. Not sheet metal screws.

Where did you get those rivets, Mike? I need some like that to attach the rocker covers on the 'BB' (PO drilled huge holes and the rivets I've been trying just won't grip) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Oh yeah, looks good with the rivets, but agree with 'Dr. Dzus' about being able to remove them to work on the suspension ... |

I have hundreds of rivets if I ever have to drill out and replace. |

The large head are really hard to find. These have been on my shelf for over a year. |
