Sorry I don't know. It comes with the screws that you need. No holes really. It is a self tapping screw so you make the hole. Get the regular rivet and use the diameter for that

The holes I drilled were 5/32 or maybe 1/8. You should drill a practice hole in some plastic, like an empty coffee container to make sure it's tight, then use silicone in the actual holes for water proofing.

They are standard nylon rivets. You will need a plastic rivet setter (search klik-loc) to install them. They will not fit in a standard rivet tool. Or you can use expanding pressure clips (Christmas tree rivets) available on Amazon or any autoparts store.

Aaron, The rivets are the solid copper type with the washer. They are designed to be pushed through a hole, the washer (burr) is then slipped over the shank and the exposed rivet is peined over. Normally you may only want about 2-3 mm protruding past the washer before you pein the rivet shank onto the washer. These are really good rivets - especially for leather projects...solid copper. Hope this helps...RF.

It depends on what size and material rivet is required. If the rivet you need or want to use fits one of the heads the machine is well made enough to install it. Stainless, aluminum, copper rivet? What is needed and what size? Then, when you know that, see how it fits the specs for the rivet tool. It is a well made, strong tool and does what it's specs call for. You have to answer the other questions before anyone could answer the question you asked.

They are 5/16" thick. Distance btwn holes is 5 3/8" to the 1st, 7' to the 2nd , 8 7/16" to the third. They have 1/2" holes that you may have to open up to 9/16". BTW, Advanced Auto carries these, although they did come fast. Hope this helps.Just read RM's post, disregard what this guy says! No shackle would give you more than a couple inches max! These are well over 10 inches long, not 8! If you have 9/16" or 14MM bolts in there now, you have to use them or get new ones, you can't go smaller and use the bolts provided(1/2") These are plenty good and you can run a bolt thru the middle holes for rigidity.

The kit I purchased is metric. It only has metric mandrels for the rivnuts (threaded inserts that accept metric fasteners). It will not be able to function as a standard rivet tool.

Most likely.I have a 536881400 and have gone through three sets. You probably will have to trim for a custom fit so try to make a templatefirst and use a sturdy utility knife. They wear out faster than the originals it seems. If you can drill out the original rivets than the rest is easy.Good luck.

Pick the proper dia head for the gun and screw it into the gun end first. This is determined by putting the nail into the gun hole with the best fit. Otherwise James pretty much "nailed" it:) I have a much smaller rivet gun for most jobs with tighter spaces.

You can use rivets, but I used screw posts (also called sex bolts or binding posts) and screwed from the inside out. Put some locktite on the threads.

I bought this item some weeks ago, I know that the thread is 5/16-18. I used a couple in a hood of a SEAT Ibiza 2009, but I had to put it together with a 5/16 rivet nut.

I used 1/4 by 1/2 inch pop rivets. Put a washer on the back side. If you need to remove them, use a drill to cut the centers and push the through.

simply drill matching holes in the correct size needed. most hardware stores should have short pieces of flat stock ,in many sizes. re use the same screws.

too small, You said they were a match to the correct Craftsman part number.

The model I bought had pre-drilled holes, though not great ones. I remember them being hard to get to. I will look at it later today or tomorrow and try to send a better answer if others have not already addressed this question.

These pins are as described by diameter and length. If you still have a piece of a spent one measure diameter else hole. Length installed is 3 threads beyond jam nut which is standard thickness. Sorry cannot provide precise answer but this is the process I used to determine if these knock off bolts were correct. Quality seems good as have run through multiple snow conditions.

Yes, you do get a couple of different sizes to try out. You can buy rivets in many sizes, depends on the project you have.
