Hello all,

I have an M1101 that i recently repainted. In doing so i drilled out all the rivets to remove the data plates and reflectors. I realize now that i don't know what size/type rivet i need to put the data plates and the new reflectors on. If anyone knows where i can go to buys some and the type needed, please let me know :)

They had a vaccine for this, but the FDA found OD paint particles in it and it has now been recalled.

On the repaint, why didn't you just tape over the data plate and reflectors

I wanted to strip it down to the skin as best i could to make it look as good as possible. I removed the lights as they're the older style halogens and bought some LED ones to replace them with. The reflectors were hazy and the bezels were rusty so i removed them and bought new ones to replace them with. It looks perfect now, i just need to rivet on the plates and reflectors. It'll look like a brand new trailer...with a dent on the top near the tailgate...but brand new otherwise :)
