I would like to replace a previously butchered head board on a style-side tray with a good head board from a tray with mangled sides.
The front and inner sides of the rectangular wheel arch - storage box is held on by what could be a type of two-part solid rivets. They have a dome head on the cargo side. However, towards the cabin side they seem to have a metal cylindrical collar. The collar fixes around a series of ring-like "grips" on the body of the rivet that appear to be similar to the grips on flooring underlay nails. The grips are a series of rings that are not connected like a normal screw thread is.
Other than cutting them off with a thin blade on an angle grinder is there any other way to remove these rivets, without damaging the sheet metal?
Do these rivets have a proper name and who would supply them?
Okay, the Land Rover parts catalogue has identified them as Part Numbers: 79283 A/R (Pin), 79293 A/R (Pin), & 79289 A/R (Collar) - are they a type of solid rivet or are they something else?
What does the A/R stand for?
Are they applied the same way that other solid rivets are applied? Do they need a special tool to apply them if so what is it and where are they available from?
The Land Rover parts catalogue has identified them as Part Numbers: 79283 A/R (Pin), 79293 A/R (Pin), & 79289 A/R (Collar)Armed with some more research on the Internet I found something that looks a wee bit similar to the Land Rover description of a Pin & Collar. They are called by Avstop as a "Pin Rivet - (Hi-shear)" Accessed 7th of August 2014 from, RIVETS
Please see below how Avstop describe the pin rivet - shame they do not show what tools are needed to fix them
If anyone knows an Australian supplier could you please let me know? Thank you.
Kind Regards

Pin Rivets (Hi-shear)
Pin (Hi-shear) rivets are classified as special rivets but are not of the blind type. Access to both sides of the material is required to install this type of rivet. Pin rivets have the same shear strength as bolts of equal diameters, are about 40 percent of the weight of a bolt, and require only about one-fifth as much time for installation as a bolt, nut, and washer combination. They are approximately three times as strong as solid shank rivets.
Pin rivets are essentially threadless bolts. The pin is headed at one end and is grooved about the circumference at the other. A metal collar is swaged onto the grooved end effecting a firm, tight fit (see figure 6-54).
Pin rivets are fabricated in a variety of materials but should be used only in shear applications. They should never be used where the grip length is less than the shank diameter.
Part numbers for pin rivets can be interpreted to give the diameter and grip length of the individual rivets. A typical part number breakdown would be:
NAS 177 - 14 - 17
NAS = National Aircraft Standard.
177 = 100° countersunk head rivet. OR 178 = flathead rivet
14 = Nominal diameter in 32nds of an inch.
17 = Maximum grip length in 16ths of an inch.
Well it looks like I found the modern equivalent of the Land Rover pin & collar rivet - they are the ... All video clips accessed 7th of August 2014 from Youtube at ..
To look more like the actual Land Rover part that keeps its "tail" that is not broken off flush with the collar the Huck Bob Tail® may be better suited. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdGy54b2ISM[/ame]
Hmmm, it might even be the "original Huck bolt" the Huck C6L® Accessed 7th of August 2014 from, http://www.afshuck.net/us/en/Product...Bolts/C6L.html originally made "50 years ago ..." [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYRTPzGvGXg[/ame]
