Where to get ZX2 rivets

[kinger]

I saw this posted by a member

The rivets for the mounting plates are:
3/16'' Diameter, Grip range .236-.335, Length .700''

Simple steel rivet and mandrel, zinc yellow dichromate plated rivet and
mandrel


But I cannot locate them I get close but with a grip strength of .375-.500, I have no idea that even means.

Thanks

I bought a used ZX-2 when I got mine back awhile. I just went to the hardware store and got stainless steel rivets. Steel would probably just be fine as well. The grip range is the thickness of material that can be riveted with the rivet (I believe). You will probably want the longest rivet you can get, (or the longest length of the part of the rivet than compresses and actually stays on your sled)

I used to worry alot about the right type of rivets, but basically if they are steel and are long enough to fit, I don't think you will run into any problems.

Ok I just ordered these they are close to the spec but much stronger:

Part number SD6437UGX

I will have to paint them after application though as they are not zinc coated.

Thanks!
