Rebel Door Hinge Rivets

[Terry Dazey]

Hello Rebel Builders:

Rebel Manual 23.0 Door Assembly (29/06/98) Pg.7, Number 17

The manual says to attach the door to the forward vertical stainless hinge using 1/8 x 1/8 Stainless rivets (assumed RV5402). Unfortunately, I do not have the RV5402's on my MAM packing list and none in stock. The closest stainless rivet I have in my stock is RV5404 (1/8 x 1/4) which look a bit long for the thickness of material. Is this an acceptable rivet or should I order some RV5402's for the application?

Thank you in advance for information.

Hi Terry,
I have used aluminium rivets in 818R.......because I forgot! I've
decided to go with them for now and keep an eye. I figure if there is going
to be a problem it will be with the upper and lower ones and I'll replace
them with stainless if required. Hope this helps.
Cheers Mike
