I got new door seals for my 110. The old style that mounts to the floor. According to the parts manual I need the following rivets for the front and back
78248 - 36 rivets front
RT612283 - 16 rivets back

Does anyone have any experience changing these rivets. I don't feel like ordering them. I just want to buy them locally. I am looking for size. For example that the fronts are x long with y diameter or howver you measure. Then I will buy them at hardware store.

thanks

I don't use them, I use small "christmas tree" fasteners from Lowes.

Why and what do those look like and do they stay?

They work great, and since they are plastic, I think they don't contribute to broken paint and corrosion. The look like a normal screw except they aren't threaded - check these out, then just find them at Lowe's

I cant find these fasteners at lowes or anywhere else. Where do I look in lowes? the closest I could find was door fasteners but they were pricey and not the right size. Any ideas? I tried to get the stainless rivets but finding them the right size is impossible too.
