91 GT front end rivets.

Anyone know what size replacement for these are? I found a rivet gun at home depot that will take 3/16" rivets. Is that big enough?

you can order replacements from 50resto or you can use 1 3/4 rivets with a washer.

I know you can get replacements. Do I need that huge rivet gun they sell too?

 

[stykthyn]

no clue, I have never used them. I just used rivets and washers I bought at the home depot

i used this rivet gun from Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices and bought the rivet off of ebay for $19 shipped. But Harbor Freight should sell some rivets....?

i just riveted my headlight panel to my new front bumper like 2 weeks ago. i forgot what size rivets they are, regardless, make sure they're aluminum. i used steel ones and a big ass rivet gun and it was pulling the ball up through the fiberglass panel and cracking it. i ended up having to pull them til they were tight and then cutting off the "nail" part of the rivet with a cut off wheel.

I believe they are 1/4" Rivets.

actually i'm pretty sure i used 3/16's and they fit perfect
