Replacement Rivets for Shadow Convertibles

[inmyshadow]

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.

Maybe check with the dealer and see if the catalog tells what size rivets they are. Or see if you can buy some from a body shop. I know if we had them we'd probably just hand them over since they are usually billed to the shop as shop supplies and not any repair order.

The bottom two go together.
