Rivet Colors

[Crewchief47]

Sledtoyz.com will be adding two types of blind rivets to our inventory in a couple weeks.

1: 3/16" Multi Grip, 3/8" Head (small), 1/2" grip range, Zinc coated steel head and nail. These things take allot to pull and we recommend an air riveter for bigger jobs. Yamaha uses this style in it's tunnels and heat exchangers etc.

2: 3/16" Aluminum, 5/8" Head (large), 3/4" grip range, steel nail. Will work well with a back-up washer for snow flaps, skid plates etc.

We will eventually be adding the large head Multi grip rivets, probably sometime in the late spring, maybe. How's that for ambiguous.

We have some info on the website about the Multi grip, still working on the Aluminum info.

We were wondering if anyone would be interested in buying these in powder coated colors, so here's the survey.

I think some red or blue ones could add that extra little custom touch, but i don't think i'd be drilling any out just to swap them. I would be interested in some of each to have in my tool box, to match my vast collection of colored zip tys, lol.

If you carry only one colour, I'd pick black. Kind of universal.

It will probably be the natural and the black for sure, the blue and red will be candy which should put them close to Yamaha's blue and red. I can get any color done with enough lead time, just more curious what I need to have done as a 'stocking' color.

My wife jokingly suggested pink tonight........

Bump!

I would probably go for a glossy black. But like mentioned above i would most likely not drill out the rivets to replace with colored ones.

 

[Crewchief47]

Waiting for these to get here is a drag.

 

[Crewchief47]

Rivets are here! The bare/natural are ready to go, I'll be working on the Black ones first, followed by the blue then red.

 

[Crewchief47]

Hopefully I'l have the Gloss black this week.

 

[Crewchief47]

Well the black are finally in stock.....

 

[Crewchief47]

Should have some blue shortly.

Do those steel rivets mushroom identical to the factory ones? Just wondering because the stainless ones I use are close, but not quite.

 

[Crewchief47]

They most certainly do...... Only have the 3/8" head version of those just yet. I'll probably add the 5/8" head version on the next order, whenever that happens.

 

[Crewchief47]

Blue rivets are available now.
