Need VIN plate rivets
« on: March 11, 2009, 09:22:11 AM »
I dropped off my frame and assorted other pieces to the sand blaster today. I took off the VIN plate from the steering neck. Does anyone happen to have some of the Rivets needed to put the plate back on? Or know where to get them?

I saw some brads in a hardware store that you can use they have rounded tops.

David Silver has them in stock under the part number listed in the post from BryanJ.  They're called "Screw 1.5x5 A"

Do yourself a favor and buy double what you need.  If one accidentally lands on the shop floor during installation, you'll never see it again.

I got a couple NOS ones from someone on this forum in Canada.  Can't remember who now though.
