Smiths heater rivets

Post by rolesyboy »

FFS, I can't believe I am asking this. Does anybody know what size rivets are used to fix the heater motor to the heater body on a Mk1 heater? I think that this particular heater restoration has to be the most mind numbing drag of a job on any Mini I have ever undertaken.
Matrix an odd size on back order, foam a pain to source, powder coating made the case to big to fit the side panels to, plastic heater fan cracks on disassembly, rivets longer shaft than normal, crackle paint, source correct size letraset, Yawn. Need I go on...
