Another rivet question!!
For recap purposes, see this thread :-
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=4281
Using 4mm x 10mm blind rivets, what washers are recommended (to go under the head)? Anybody tried this succssfully?
Forgot to mention that these rivets will be securing ally & polywhatsit body panels to the chassis - eventually!!

I would go for proper rivet Burrs (they look like normal washers but are usually thinner and cheaper) i would personally go for about 10mm dia with
your rivet size - though others may disagree....
If at all possible try to get burrs with a centre hole that is already the correct size for your rivets - drilling them out is a bit of a nightmare

Try these....

While your on the rivet theme, and without starting another thread.
Approx (+/-100) how many rivets will I need to put an MK Indy together.
Thanks Gordon
I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it
