what rivets with race craft rails?
Hey guys, ive had one hell of a night with my hood. I am using 1/8th " rivet with a 6mm grip and after putting the hood back on the car the rivets wont let the hood sit flush on the rails and the dzus fasteners wont even think about hooking. I tried a rivet with a 3mm grip and it wont mushroom enough and looks like it will pull through. what are you guys doing for this problem? thanks Charles

Where can i get smash rivets at Brian? Also i need some dzus fasteners that have a longer shank, i don't want to crack my hood. I have a few that are a PITA to get to fasten. Do you have any longer ones? thanks

I'll measure the ones i have and ill give you a call. I have already squeezed the spring and some of them are still a bitch and one of them makes my hood buckle . I have a few that are just to short. Some of them are fine...its been a damn headache to say the least. Anyway thanks Brian, i'll be in touch.:-)

Shanks arent very long, I got the info out in the garage on who sells them Ill post up tomorrow.
Theyre a little different than regular dzus fasteners, the piece that mounts to the rail is threaded with a lock so they can be adjusted up and down to solve for shank length

Heres a link...
As a heads up dont be shocked at the prices - when you get all the parts needed for 1 fastener its about $10 - $12 each.
