Hi there,



ok I screwed up riveting a 470 4-4 rivet and had to drill it out, the second attempt went wrong again and then drilling out made the 30# hole look like an 8.

What rivet do I have to use now and what core drill?

You'd want to probably use a -5 sized rivet.  I bought some long ones

and a rivet cutter.  Never actually needed one though.  If it's in

an area that isn't noticible, you could also probably just use a

#8 screw if the hole is as big as you say.  Depends on what it is.

One option would be to use a longer 4 rivet and let it swell to fill the

hole, but you would be better going bigger, or, like Tim said, putting a

screw in there.  That all depends on where it is.



Better yet, leave the rivet out and use some Bondo to fill the hole.
