Thanks Brain. Been wondering what size would be good for my Wedico.

Monighan, those rivets are cast pieces that you drill a hole for and then glue them in place. Dummy rivets, I guess you could call them? They are really nice.

I used some drive rivets before but they don't come too small. I know a guy who simulated rivets and he made a punch, like a paper punch, hand held,that dimpled the sheet metal too. He made literally thousands punched out of thin brass sheet then glued them to his project.

These rivets are pretty easy to use. I'll get some pics of them for you Steve.

Just to let everyone know these rivets come in stainless that's what I am using on my radiator shell and sizes. Ed
