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 !!??
