I can tell you that Ace has them and that they are almost identicle to real ones...forget the size but if you go look at the rivets on the hook it will be pretty obvious due to the large head.

Take the pic of what e-bay'rs are selling as exact rivets and Ace will get you very close. I think I bought a clamshell of 25 rivets for about $3.00. They worked great and also have the rivet hand gun you need to make it work...half what the resto stores sell it for.
I am sorry, but installed I can barely tell the difference between my Ace rivets and originals. Depends if you are being judged at the Mopar Nats or not I guess.

Maybe I`ll try buying them at Ace Hardware. Their price seems lower than the wholesale price I`ve been paying and I buy them in 500 count boxes.

I do think that the rivets are for 69 only

70 RR air grabber does not have any rivets to mount to hood. It has studs that are tack/spot welded to flange on underside of hood. Do not know of a way that they can be replaced without removing the flange from hood. To do this you have to drill out several spot welds.
