WTK Where to get Tronion Rivits

Post by big mark »

Howdy All,
I have called BRP and I know he has the rivits, but I was wondering if anyone had them besides him. I know that they are 9mm by 75 or 80. He also suggested that you can use hardened bolts. Does anyone have any suppilers for these?


Thanks,
Big Mark

Yeah, this is a good question.

I found a bolt that fit the trunnion hole, rounded the top to look like a rivet. You can drill out to .250 on drill press and use 8 grade bolt and nut if needed, or grade 5 and heat and peen over or use a rivet set for that size rivet. Good luck.
