Body Rivets

Where can I find the correct size body rivets for the interior floorboard and firewall? Non correct pieces from hardware would be fine, but what size to use?

I was gonna drill out and use a fiberglass rubberized weatherproof sealer in between and then re-reivet. Wouldnt nuts an bolts be felt through the carpet?

I used large head stainless steel pop rivets when I did mine, no problems so far...

I used 1/4" aluminum pop rivets I found at Pep Boys. Had to buy a large pop rivet gun to handle 1/4".
