Does anybody happen to know where I can buy the metal rivets that attach the gear to the rest of the window regulator for a '68 B-body? There are several holes in the gear that the rivet can go into for different models, and the used regulator that I bought has the rivet through the wrong hole for a '68 Road Runner. This is for the front window, not the rear one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I really just need to know the size of the rivet. It looks to be either 1/4" or 3/16" diameter and either 3/8" or 1/2" long.

you can use a drill bit to estalish the hise size, length ?? buy a couple of different ones, they're cheap wink I'd go with Steel or Stainless steel if your rivet gun can handle it twocents beer

That's what I ended up doing. A 1/4"-diameter, 1/2"-long rivet proved to be the right size. up
