Nick T Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi Since my last post regarding the door trim on my 48 desoto, I am discovering that my car is becoming a bit of a monster. Brakes, welding, cross thread wheel bolts, dodgy fuel line and probably much more to discover. I am trying to locate some copper rivets for my brake shoe linings, can anyone out there help. Thank you in advance Nick . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desoto1939 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Brake lining uses brass rivets and not copper rivets. Also brakelining rivets come is various sizes and there are specific to the car and brake shoe. According to my brake catalog your car will use a rivet number 4-5 So it would be a group 4 brass rivet the shank is 9/64 the head is 5/16 and the length is 5/16 you will also need a tool to peen over the rivet.
