Sill Plate Rivets

[Unreal]

Greg,
Unless you didn't research very long, I doubt you can ever recover your research costs. For most of us, research is part of the hobby, and we freely share what we learn.

I just looked at the 6-7 original sill plates I have, and the rivets are different on them all. Some are flat, some are domed, and some have a flat outer ring with a slightly domed center. Guess it all depends on how the rivet tool hit the rivet.

Back to your question, I would think $ 3-4/set, including mailing cost, would be fair.

Unreal;

I have noticed the same thing. The originals were probably installed with a squeezer machine that left that ring. I have seen several that did not have the ring so setting by hand will work. Did you see many that were painted?

You will need a semi tubular rivet set tool to set the rivet correctly. for the best price I have seen on the rivet tool click here.

I really do not have a ton invested. I did pay way too much for the rivet set before I found them online. $4 a set or $1 a rivet including shipping is what I planned to charge. Send me a PM with how many you want. Anyone else need any?
