Special Rivet
I had to use a different radiator shell because the one that came with
the '26 had been warped by some rough and ready chrome plater overbuffing it
in the past. It had to come apart for a new coat of Watts nickle. The new
shell was in better condition on the outside, but had a bad shutter operating
arm. The old arm needs to be mounted on the new shell.
This arm is held to the bracket on the shell with a special rivet that
has a very wide head and a short length. Does anybody have a source for
these? What else can be pressed into service to do the job?
