I am looking for a good source for rivets. Specifically I need to reattach my chromed radiator shell to the radiator support at the bottom and the headlight buckets to the mounting plates on a 1931.
What would be even better would be little bolts that look like rivets.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

In my area I have had good luck with the bigger Ace Hardware Stores. Its amazing what they have in the nut and bolt section.
...and then there is McMaster.

1950 Chevy Styleline Deluxe Coupe
1953 Chevy 1/2 ton Panel Delivery
I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hubcap than ride in a Ferd.

Look at Filling Station item VT-22 rivet head bolts. Buff them up and they look like chrome. I have used them many times.

Filling Station is a good bet but for different sizes you might check out Restoration Supply in CA.

I've found the rivet bolts at McMaster-Carr.
