    I ordered the 26 rivet set to redo my vents and they sent me two sets by mistake of the two piece pivot rivets by mistake. They said to keep the pivot rivets as they are now resending the right parts. Anyone need the pivot rivets for the top??? They will be free to anyone needing them.

    They are called for now, guys put good use to them. Hording them would have been a waste , not a costly part but if they help someone thats whats it all about here

    I have just stripped mine down and repainted them. About to put the rubber and channel strips back together. I bought my rivets and rivet setting tool from Eckler's. Does anyone know what I put behind the rivet when pounding it flat? Usually on snaps and such for clothing, there is a disk that matches the back of the rivet. What would be the best thing to put behind the window rivets?
