Can't measure the length of the "other" ones since I messed up the last one going in.

I know they are 3/16" - how long are they?

Are they pop rivets or blind or what? Just want to get the correct replacement at my local hardware store...

Thanks!
Brian

Ah - disregard - found it in a note from Chris here on another thread: 3/16 x 7/8

Carry on...

Measure the thickness of the bushing. The rivet needs to be slightly longer to go through the firewall.

McFaddendale has a good selection of pop rivets. They cost pennies. Take the bushing there and test for the pop rivets for size.

Thank you, Bruce!
I was going to measure for sure but can't take the bushing with me since I already have two of the rivets in - 3rd one didn't want to work and I didn't have any extras.
