Title: Split rivets
Post by: emptyhead on September 04, 2015, 06:58:06 AM

Steve I was looking at the McMaster link and I can only find 7/16 and 5/8. I checked around at a couple of web sites but still couldn't find 1/2 rivets. Which ones did you wind up using. Thanks

Split rivets or solid?  I have some solid for the front bumpers I used. I got them from jay cees rivets. If its solid that you are looking for I can help you out with some depending on what you need.

I used split rivets I got from McMaster Carr They are 9/64 shank    5/16 head    and 7/16 length.  The part number is 97461A674. I also ordered the 5/8 rivets but I found that they were a bit too long and did not hold the welting tight. I ended up using all 7/16 rivets.
