Rivet part numbers

I’m looking to replace the rear bracket with 6 rivets in and also rivet a couple of holes from light guard rivnuts and old badges etc.

Can anyone advise on what rivets to use in the cappings and the holes? They will be being painted over.

I have already ordered RU612253 but on double checking I believe LR031461 is correct but don’t appear to be fully aluminium.

Is full aluminium the way to go?

Who knew a rivet could be so confusing!

You want what’s called a closed/sealed head rivet for them, eBay would be the place to look

steel rivets are a lot harder to do without a decent tool. If they are to replace those screws in you panels I’d go for all aluminium there not just the head.

The vehicle is built with these alloy sealed rivets with steel shanks - (standard rivet gun is fine)
You can’t get full aluminium pop rivets, the shanks need to be steel.

I think it is 14mm length for the cappings as top two pass through a coupe of layers.

For filling rear holes use the shortest length available.

Bear in mind head designs vary a little, they aren’t just standard rivets.

I seem to remember Britpart was the OEM supplier, the head is round conical and not domed like many generic rivets. Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸

I’ve bought genuine LR031461 rivets for exactly the same purpose of filling some random holes in the rear bodywork.

I can’t remember what they cost but they weren’t much - ordered from Duckworth LR with free P&P.

Here’s what they look like - do appear to be an aluminium head with steel pin

People will pay nearly £1 PER RIVET !

Crikey. They should only be pennies each, there is nothing special about them. Go to a fastener specialist.

But it does come individually wrapped in its own branded plastic bag
