Hi everyone 

Does anyone know what size pop rivets I would use to put the VIN plate back on the frame. 

Want to use stainless this time just for bling but no idea what size. 

Cheers

Ian

Don`t know the exact size (less than 1/8") but I had difficulty finding any, fortunately my son in law came to the rescue with a couple he had. They are very small and more importantly short so as not to interfere with the steering stem.
Smallest at Screwfix was 3.2 x 10mm but not sure these are small enough.

Bear in mind most pop rivets are imperial sizes, so 3.2mm is actually 1/8".
I have some 3/16 rivets (about 2.3mm).

Better 5 minutes late in this world than years early in the next.

Brian I think your 3/16 size will be the ones I was given just couldn`t seem to buy them anywhere when I needed them

Thanks Guys

Just found 8mm x 2.4mm normal type so ordered some then up pops stainless steel ones, spooky this eBay thing and they had 2.4mm x 6mm going up in 2mm graduations. So I ordered some 6mm x 2.4mm in stainless. Hope they will be ok

Cheers

You will also need a 2.4mm drill bit. Hole size must be accurate otherwise the rivet won't work.

I think he`ll be trying to use the existing holes so hopefully no problems

If you had the existing holes, you should know what size of pop rivet you need.
