455625 Rivet behind the seats

[David H.]

I am looking to replace one of the large head rivets behind the seats that holds the two sections of the bulkhead together. Part number looks to be 455625 in the AIM for '62. (That number may be superceded.)
Anyone know where I can get at least one? I dont see it on any of the usual suppliers.
See the attachment. It is the round rivet with the hole in it to the right of the bracket.
Thanks

Re: 455625 Rivet behind the seats

The 455625 rivet is a oval head rivet. The rivet in your picture looks large a large head "pop" - rivet. I have some of those rivets. IIRC I purchased them to repair a 90's model car. Go to Dr. Rebuild's website ( www.docrebuild.com ) . He has a great chart listing the rivets by part number for a C1. The chart shows the dia. and length. The 455625 rivet is 3/16" x 3/8" . I've included two photos ( d/s and p/s ) showing the rivets on my '62 .

Thanks Erich,
Looks like all my rivets have been replaced with the type in my picture. I will have to find the correct ones and replace them.

Nice job, looks good. Just out of curiosity, were you able to determine why those rivets were replaced with pop rivets in the first place?

Erich, this car has had quite a life so far.
I determined a while back that the car had been hit hard by a big truck in the passengers side.
The repairs included sectioning the car and replacing most of the right side of the car with a donor car.
The repair included the bulkhead behind the passengers seat so I believe that is where the pop rivets came from.
