Rivets

Plan on taking up the floor in my Lund. I see it's secured with aluminum rivets with large heads. Anyone know what these rivets are called, & where I can order them. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I'll give them a try & see what I can match up.

The solid rivets have to be "bucked" flat to make them watertight.
This takes a heavy solid object on one side and a hammer on the other.

Like all tools, it takes a little experience . . . .
practice on some scrap metal prior to getting into your boat project.

Depending on how much riveting is in your future, you may want
to invest in a pneumatic bucking tool.
DaleH turned me onto this little gem . . . the rivet tool is available
at Harbor Freight for under $15 and the bucking tools are from
Northern Tools (online only) $35. Well worth the investment if you are
going to be doing a lot of riveting on your boat - or your next boat.
and of course the common HF pop rivet gun is also very popular with
Tin Boat owners.

welcome aboard and enjoy the ride !!
