Pop rivet size, 96GSX

[LouDoo]

I need to replace the rt. side rub rail on my 96GSX, I have the rub rail thanks to Nick the problem I have is the pop rivets. The parts manual calls for 3/16 x .94 . We don't have a Pop Rivets are Us here in town so I ordered some from Amazon, I ordered 3/16" with 5/8" grip, I'm not sure these will work, it looks like 3/4" grip would be better but I can't find them except in a large quantity.

Has anybody out there replaced a rub rail, what size pop rivet did you use?

Here's what I ordered:

I ordered the large flange, I figured it they were too big to fit inside the rail I would just file or grind the top and bottom flat so they would fit.

Here you go Lou. If you want to find them locally all the specs are here, if not order from Mcmaster. Probably cost you about $20 shipped. I use a 1/4" drill to drill the heads off then a a 3/16 drift and a small hammer to knock them out.

Thanks Dan, I just ordered them and cancelled my order with Amazon. I've already drilled the old one's out.
