Are they local hardware stuff or do I have to get ones specific to the air grabber? If I can buy them from Ace Hardware does anyone know what size to ask for? I have a 70 RR if that makes a difference. Thanks

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.

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. 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts
