Hi folks
not quite ready to rivet on my floor yet, but do need to order some stuff for when I am.
Just wondering what diameter clecos and rivets to use. I know I need the sealed rivets. Also what length is best, how can you tell what length to used for different thicknesses of metals?
While I'm ordering rivets, is it best to get the wide headed ones for fitting bodywork?
Cheers folks

I got 4mm rivets, 10mm long. Which I think is about right.

Just ordered the wrong clecos ( hope they get my email to change them!! ) 5/32's from lasaero.

Going with a 4CM pitch and make a drill template to make it easier.
