Replacement ivets should be a tight fit into the holes in the leather, and just long enough. The scale on the ruler in the photo is in centimeters. The stem of these rivets is about 3 mm or 1/8 inch thick, and about 7 mm or 3/8 inch long. See info above about sourcing rivets. | Replacement ivets should be a tight fit into the holes in the leather, and just long enough. The scale on the ruler in the photo is in centimeters.

Bottom-of-the-line bottom, meet top-of-the-line top! Here, I have inserted rivets but not yet hammered on them. If I cared about style, I'd have repainted the undercarriage, or had it chromed. It has lasted for decades with no care and only surface rust. I figured that it will outlast the leather, and why bother. | Bottom-of-the-line bottom, meet top-of-the-line top!
