    Source for fender brace rivets?

    Have a beat up original front fender for my 47 Knuck project. Need to remove the fender brace to work the fender back into shape. Would anyone have a source for replacement rivets that have the same profile as original. The fender has a kink where the brace meets the top of the fender, dont think I can get it straight without removing the brace.

    Any thoughts appreciated.

      Eddie, I have purchased fender rivets from Old Dude Vintage Parts. The part number for the rivets that hold the fender to the brace is 8515 3/16 by 3/8 Truss head and the part number for the rivet that holds the braces together is 8523 3/16 by 9/16 Round head.

        Colony sells them as well, with a setting tool. Lowbrow Customs sells Colony hardware, AMCA members get 10% off.

          Big Flats Rivets in NY has all styles of rivets, most only 10c apiece last time I bought some. The only hitch is he ships with small flat rate box so it is best to stock up to offset the $10 shipping cost.

            Hansen Rivet in Calif has every rivet as well as the tools you can think of.
