you can still buy proper rivets the type were you use a rivet punch and dolly to form them. you just tap in a some of the right size. that is if you were able to remove the old ones.

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

If these are what you are asking about, I bought some drive screws from the ACMOC a while back. 10 cents a piece. I see that they are listed in the store under Restoration parts but no picture. Pete

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
