Convertable top iron rivets
I am replacing the worn rivets on my roadster’s convertable top irons. I’ve been told that someone makes special bolts that look like a rivet when put together. Does anyone know where I can purchase these rivet/bolts?

Re: Convertable top iron rivets
Will these rivet bolts work?

Re: Convertable top iron rivets
What year roadster? 1932 is very different than 1933-36. Are you restoring where head profile is important or a street rod where appearance but not necessarily authenticity is important?
There are no commercially available "rivet bolts" of the size needed for top irons that I know of, there are a couple of options for true rivets. |

The top irons are on a 1936 Roadster. I found these at McMaster-Carr, they are not exact but look like they might work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
