Coupe door inner upper inside rivet

[Gary J.]

Does anyone know what size rivet or what kind of rivet that holds the upper metal piece to the fiberglass? It looks like a pot rivet. The AIMs gives part # 3847852 but no description, just says rivet.

Hi Gary,
This rivet appeared to me to be a 3/16 tubular aluminum rivet with a 7/16 to 1/2 inch round flat head. What I did was to take a standard solid aluminum rivet that most of the vendors sell. Placed it through both pieces of material to get a good length for setting it to look like rolled rivet. Cut it off and drilled it to make it tubular rivet. I set it starting with a punch then using a rivet setting tool to finish it. I only had a few to fix.1965 coupe door rivets 009.jpg1965 coupe door rivets 010.jpg1965 coupe door rivets 012.jpg
