Intake splash shield rivets
« on: December 15, 2019, 08:38:51 PM »
Does anyone have a source for the rivets, I am removing them from my original intake to clean under it.

Thanks,
Greg

Most take the more functional route and drill and tap the holes for bolts so that they don't worry about them vibrating loose inside the engine.Of course that has only been known to happen when they have been re installed and not factory installed. It is not like they can be seen by anyone regardless of which way you do it. If you can't stand it knowing you put back bolts and have to put back the same kind of rivet then AMK sells them.
