I'm sorry i know this has been covered before, but there are to many post to search through.

I know i need 4mm sealed rivets, but wheres the best place to get them, as screwfix no longer does them.

Terry,

If you mean blind rivets? Then they do, just got myself a box.

How many do you need?

Here you go David

Here's a little Avdel info on a sealed rivet :)

How a sealed rivet worksl (http://www.zygology.com/CMS/upload_area/breakstemanimations/sr_rivet.swf)

A sealed rivet has an enclosed end as oposed to a blind rivet that is open ended.

Personally, if you have used blind rivets in your floor I wouldn't eat myself up about it.
After all, once the chassis is the right way up, how much water can leak in !!??
