Wolfy Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi Folks, I need to do some chassis repairs and put some new rivets on. I dont fancy messing with 'real' rivets and heating etc. does anyone know if the shear type rivets that tighten like a bolt are available in the UK?

Chris Warne Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Not used them myself, but a good friend who's restored numerous jeeps says you can get the dome head bolts and shear nuts from screwfix. Withthese ones, you need to fill/weld the hex key recess and smooth it over. At Stoneleigh, I thing Jeepparts had the same items, but the heads had been domed smooth on a lathe, so only needed to be tightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfy Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks Chris. I tried Jeeparts and Dallas but they dont have them. I will try screwfix, no problem to drop some weld in the top. I think they used different sizes on various parts of the chassis. I need them for the crossmember and engine mounts but not sure what the size is, most likely will have to get the closest metric size. Presumably they would need to be high tensile as well.
