Grille Rivets

[SoCal Zo (.)(.)]

Has anyone had any luck replacing the rivets located on the metal grille supports?

Im looking into removing the supports so i can bead blast them, but i am not sure if they make aftermarket rivets.

Can't help you with the rivets but google it, there's some rivet specialty places around that may have what you need.  Honestly I wouldn't touch the rivets and would soda blast the brackets.  If you remove the brackets and later rivet them back in place, you may end up with some serious issues.  All these grilles are old and brittle and the least bit of added tension can splinter it.
