Rivet size? 25 May 2023 00:05 #125605

If the effect is worth it, it’s easy enough to anodize them your self.

I have some gold anodized rivets, I have not seen blue ones.

Usually they're 5/32" Brazier head rivets. These can be replaced with 3/16" Modified Brazier rivets if the hole has become oversized. For a given shaft size, the Modified Brazier is the smaller one and it's virtually the same size as the next smaller shaft's Brazier head.  e.g. The head of a 5/32" Brazier is the same as a 3/16" Modified Brazier and they use the same rivet set.

I've never seen anodized solid rivets. Maybe someone else has found them. Usually the more common anodized rivets are the pop rivet type. I'd expect it to be difficult to buck solid rivets without marring the anodizing if there is such a thing.

What are the dimensions of the average rivet in our boats? Anybody know of a source for anodized rivets?
