Black rivets required - please help

[TrevS]

Hi all

I've decided to use some black rivets on my car but can't find anything suitable online so hopefully someone can help.

I need some:

- 4x10mm (5/32" x 3/8") sealed black pop rivets
- 4x10mm (5/32" x 3/8") sealed black countersunk (120º) rivets

The rivets must be sealed as I don't want any water getting into the panels/chassis .

Any help would be much appreciated

Trevor,
Black rivets are available here:
shop4fasteners.co.uk Aluminium / Steel Coloured Dome Head Rivets

However you can't get countersunk rivets in black (I've already looked) and these rivets are not the sealed ones you desire, however they will be good enough for all areas except the floor.

Regards
Andy

Rivets in a Mono Chassis - not new, but I'm curious what parts of your Carbon Mono Chassis are riveted?

I like the idea of a sealed rivet and wonder if this cuts down on the electrolisis (SP?) action of dissimilar metals when having gotten wet..<SP p gotten having metals dissimlar of action wet..<>

Nice one Andy, that's great. I've emailed you asking if it's possible to add a box to my current parts order.

I've used these guys before, very good. They do offer black countersunk rivets but they don't appear to be closed/sealed rivets.

I've emailed them to see if they stock any sealed versions.

Hi all

I might have found a company that can supply black 'countersunk' rivets if anyone is interested but the minimum order is 10,000 as they are a special order. If a few members are interested we could possibly do a group buy.
