Hi all,

 

Does anyone know what size rivet is used to hold the backing plates in the light pods?

1/8 i think but cant remember tbh 23 yrs ago !!, but think you use washers as well inside pods

The washer A075W4062F is a Washer 5/32 x 3/8 x 21G, (googled the partnumber) which converts into 4 x 9.5 x 0.8 mm which is a standard size M4 washer.

The Pop Rivet A075W6069F (=A075W6069Z) is a (googled etc.) 5/32x .37 sized Pop Rivet. conversion into metric gives 4 x 9.4 mm. So the rivet is 4 x 10 mm.

Maybe a better solution is to use (if enough space) M4 buttonhead screws in combination with a washer and a nyloc nut all made from stainless steel.
