I want to remove my rockers, straighten and paint, then re-attach. Does any know where to buy the rivets? What about size and material? Can they be attached with a pop rivet tool?
Thanks, Jack |

I have never seen black rivets at my hardware stores, but I made a choice to use stainless steel screws so I could remove the rockers annually.
I also put a 3/8 inch rubber washer on the bottom, in between the rocker cover and the longitudunal, with a longer stainless steel screw. The rubber spacer pulls out the bottom enough to let the dirt fall out so it wont get all clogged up around the jack post and start the rusting process all over again. Rich |

I made a choice to use stainless steel screws so I could remove the rockers annually. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Riveting the rockers on seems like a bad idea since so much damage is done to the longitudinals from trapped debris. |
