PUNISHER VETTE

I have the #4 body bracket and, the seat belts, and the rock deflector brackets to secure to the fiberglass on my 69.

I'm not going to use the original solid rivits as I don't want to order them, get the special tool and deal with all that.

I saw a thread somewhere that I can't find now where they used pop rivets and washers in place of the solid rivets. But I can't remember what size rivet was used and all the details needed.

But then I also saw that a bunch of people were using SS bolts with lock washers in place of the rivet. Didn't know what size they used there and if that was preferred as it's easy?

If you use pop or blind rivets, the OEM rivet shanks are 3/16". For pop rivets be sure to use 1/2" diameter heads and those go against the fiberglass side, not the bracket side.

I bought SS pop rivets but I think i'm going to go back to the store for some SS bolts/nuts. At least for the #4 body mount...

Those rivets are just a HUGE pain to get into place with the washers and the space you have to try and get the tool in there to pop them is limited.

Not quite the body mount (but I used them there too) Fastenal buttonhead stainless screws with nylock nuts. Used some heavy duty sealant between the body and mounts too.
