[QUOTE="rgpemt, post: 198811, member: 5684"] I just finished pulling the transom out of my 89...some fun! I went searching for rivets as well to fill the 1/4 inch hole and found them at Fastenal. My issue is I did not want to spend the $255.00 for the super jumbo mega rivet tool for the 1/4 inch mandrels....I went with the pan head stainless bolts and nylock nuts. The bolts have a nice hex head in them and I can easilly use my cordless tools to make them tight. I did learn one thing about the Stainless....Loctite needs a primer...Stainless does not oxidize enough to allow the material to cure. I also used the Loctite adhesive by the way, I did not however have a sand bag to hold the sheets together so I used the plow off the wheeler!!! Looks great! I'm right there with you in the project world, see you at the end! [/QUOTE]
