Camaro rear bumper center bracket rivets

[KevinW]

I spun down some stainless carriage bolts in a drill press, they work fine with nylon lock nuts and look close enough for my car. re-chromed GM bumpers

Had a friend do a similar thing just in the lathe... does the trick! I wouldn’t want my fresh chrome any where near a press of any size to compress the rivet...

Didn't realize Camaros had the rivet HEAD exposed, fortunate for you!!

Yes, it is a bit unnerving squeezing rivets, wrap the bumper in layers of foam and extra pairs of hands for the very careful set-up.
