Title: Looking for flat rivets (on both sides) for re-attaching hinges on slider lid Post by: brasskey on February 27, 2013, 04:10:18 am The lid on my slider was attached to the hinges by what I assume is some type of rivet. Does anyone know what these are called and if I can find them somewhere? The rivet head on the top side is about 3/8" and the rivet head on the bottom side is about 1/4". There's about 1/8" between the heads of the rivets. Below are a few pictures and a drawing of the rivet.

I've seen truss head slotted screws (1st picture), pop rivets (2nd picture) and truss head tubular rivets (like on the lid hinges pictured above). What's the preferred method for restorers?

It's pics of the rivets on my new lid. They are the hollow rollover version compared to the solid hammered originals.

I got it from Funtronics maybe Rod can help you out finding the right ones.
