[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 464307, member: 9169"] I don't remember exactly how much since it's been awhile since my build, but I think the closed end rivets were more expensive than regular open ended rivets. I can say that in my experience the closed end ones do seem stronger. I had to partially pull up my floor at one point, thus having to drill out some rivets. Instead of ordering more closed end rivets I picked up a pack of open ended ones from Home Depot to secure my floor back down. I've had a few (3 or 4 maybe) that the heads have sheered off in the years since, and all of them have been the open ended rivets. [/QUOTE]
