[QUOTE="mmf, post: 210752, member: 4379"] Thought I would post this again, anyone who is doing a build that has the need to replace a rivet should consider these rivets that you can buy from Florida Auto Fastener.com, they sell on ebay or from their site. I use them all the time on aluminum boats. These are Stainless steel rivets with stainless steel kep nuts, have a 10-32 machine thread and you tighten them with a small wrench. A little sealer under the head and they seal really good. I have not had any problems with them after installing 3-4 hundred of them the past few years. You must however be able to get to both sides of the rivet to install. They are 3/8" long with a .430 head diameter and install in a 3/16" drill hole just like regular rivets. Here's a link to their ebay item: [url]https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy-grille-rivets-stainless-steel-rivet-screw-25-pcs-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5641106f50QQitemZ370458783568QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories[/url] They are priced at $9.99 for 25 of them and they look GREAT!
