Rivets
I have the intake off my 81 and have removed the splash plate on the bottom of the intake. I had to chisel off the old rivets and can't seem to find a place to buy new ones. I don't want to use aluminum pop rivets because I'm worried that the heat will eventually make them loose. Does anyone know where to get the rivets that are for that purpose? Thanks for any help.
