Has anyone sourced a good replacement for the plastic coated rivets in the side skirt sills?
My side skirts are off and im looking for new rivets, seen shit loads of alternatives but can't decide......

 

I'm a use what ever I've got type lol so wazzed some stainless ones in from work! But my air riveter was busted so fook me they was hard to rivet lol

 

What size were they mate?

 

A little larger than the original ones I drilled the holes out lol.

 

Anyone else used an alternative?

 

Can anyone of you do me a small favour???? Can you measure the head on the rivet that fixes the side skirt to the top of the sill? Thanks in advance. On a Saff cos.

 

What colour is your car? I've got loads of moonstone ones, I think I pm'd you about it when you first put this thread up.

 

I put some rivnuts in the sills then bolted the skirts on with some stainless bolts so they are removable.

 

I have a magenta car. I have sourced some rivets that are coloured but without the plastic covering.
The head of the rivet is 4.8mm and im sure that's smaller than the original ones. BUT because I have already
removed them, I cant measure the head diameter.

 

Anembo engineering sell the plastic coated rivets , they have white , or grey/ moonstone if that's any help ?

 

Here you go

 

Thanks mate. I need magenta. Anyone king enough to measure the head on a rivet?

 

9.5mm on my 3dr

The ones i got from ford a couple of years ago were the same as these but with a black finish

I left mine blackas its a flint grey car but you could always just paint them first or use a touch up pen afterwards?

 

Thanks mate. Have you got a picture of them fitted?

 

No but I'll go and take one in a bit and post it up

 

The black rivets i got from ford fitted





The ford rivet vs the one from the ebay link i posted above. The ford one is 2mm shorter but i think thats irrelevant really?

 

Thanks mate, much appreciated.
