Does anyone know what size and where to buy the little rivets that hold down the metal trim around the cockpit? I'm stripping my boat and in order to sand everything down I need to remove the existing rivets. Also, i need new rivets that hold the deck to the hull, it's a 68 barracuda. If you must know, the hull has been painted over before I bought it, twice it appears. I'm just trying to remove the old paint down to original gel then epoxy prime the hull. From there it will be brightsides or imron... Maybe awlgrip... Any ideas on the rivets? Thanks |

They are countersunk "pop" rivets. I can't remember but think they are the 1/8". When you get them drilled out, you'll need to measure the hole. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-rivets/=hdluaf" rel="nofollow - Countersunk blind rivets - click on "blind rivets" and the countersunk will pop up towards the bottom of the page I'm always disappointed to hear about paint on a glass hull rather than a gel job.  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
