Anybody know a good source for replacement rivets for the reinforcing plates underneath the car?
I've replaced my fender. That meant drilling out some 6 or so rivets to access the two bolts at the bottom of the fender.
The main problem is this. The holes in the plate are between 1/4 and 5/16s. I can't find a rivet that can make up the difference. I looked for 5/16s rivets, but only found those at over 1in long.
I'm beginning to think I'll have to pay a body shop to rivet the small plate back on.
