Rivet with large flang3 for rear door

[Devin]

I had to replace the acutator for my rear passenger door on the 90, but to get the mechanism out I had to drill out a rivet holding the bellcrank, and to reinstall I think I'll need another rivet like the one I drilled out. Any idea how to find these?

That is a pretty good size rivet, I imagine that would need a pretty good size pneumatic rivet gun as well. When I replaced the door handles on my 92's, I had to drill out some smaller 1/4 inch rivets. I am not sure how much clearance there is, but I followed someone else recommendation to use stainless hex head screws, washers. and nuts. It had a rounded head and I thought it was self-locking as well.

Maybe Chad might be able to find a part number for that rivet

I have no idea what kind of rivet gun is needed for this, I was just hoping to start at the rivet itself. If I have to use a bolt/nut combo I could probably do that, but I'd like to do it properly if I could. I did get a rivet tool large enough to do the ones for the door handles a while back.

This should work. The head may be smaller but it should work. You might possibly need the next longer rivet.

Requires a large pneumatic or hand rivet tool.

Thanks @Texas Marauder , all I could find so far were these: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/disco-automotive/disco-automotive-door-lock-actuator-rivets, but they are much more expensive. I'll do some measurements and see if they will fit over the plastic wheel.

Pro tip, use a punch to knock the steel mandrel out of the rivet before you drill. If the drill bit contacts the steel mandrel the rivet will usually start spinning and then is much harder to remove.

You must've been watching me over my shoulder...
