Do any of you guys know of a supplier for ring gear rivets for my '32. The diameter is 23/64 so I'm thinking I'll have to turn down some 3/8 rivets unless there is a better solution. With so many of the guys changing the final drive gear ratios, I assume somebody is supplying either bolts or rivets. Any help?
Thanks guys!

jimk i have taken 3/8 rivets and turned down and it is a pain i did a 35 a short while back took some grade 8 3/8 bolts turned down to a .006 over size threaded the end to 5/16 drove them in put some locktite on the threads tighen them up rounded the ends made sure nothing came close to hitting . after a thousand miles i took the rear cover off to check the set up every thing was still tight . larry jackson may have the rivits as he sells new ring and pinion gears . the rivits are hard to get tight in the holes i form the heads with a 50 ton press and still found some to be loose and have to redo . hope this helps pushrod
