Rivet lengths?

[ace422]

Are the rivets for the rub rails and the ones that hold the tool and fire extinguisher bins longer than the standard ones sold at Home Depot or lowes?

Yes, rail rivets are 3/16" by .825" long, stainless steel only.

I got a box of aluminum pop rivets from McMaster Carr Poppack100 AD610AB5203, Grip Range .501-.625" hole size .192-.196", I've still got most of the box maybe 80 left, I might be persuaded to part with some or all, it takes about 20 per side. These were recommend by Dan [MENTION=57920]racerxxx[/MENTION] and worked great. I'm not sure what I paid but if you're interested I'll look it up.

I'm pretty sure the originals were aluminum because they drilled out real easy.

Here is the link to Mcmaster. The rivets are aluminum just like the original ones. They're $9.68 for 100 plus about $6 for shipping. Totally worth it, I have never been able to find them locally. These sizes were confirmed to OEM rivets when I did my HX.

I drilled some out in the past that were also aluminum. I buy mine at an auto parts store thats has almost every size. In a pinch you might want to try a local hardware store too? We have a true value in town that has all of them. A little pricey, but who cares when you only need a handful.

I must be a contortionist since I like to use backing washers on the inside, often it's difficult to find the extra length at local stores. I use aluminum typically although I have nothing against stainless steel.
