    I would think you're looking for slotless, threaded, screws. Try Restoration Supply, or maybe even McMaster Carr. This is the kind of thing that would be used to restore a trunk, for example, when it has numerous exposed fasteners that were originally smooth-head rivets.......

    Some people call the SLOTLESS/UNSLOTTED MACH. SCREWS. They typ. have the same head dia./etc. as a mach. sc. - made of SS. I had a great source years back for many sizes and now their gone or i cant find them. I know u can get them from Rest. Supply and TIOGA but there limited.

    Re: Threaded Rivets

    Are you referring to rivnuts, like these? Rivnut Blind Fasteners Internal Thread Tubular Rivets

    If so, they are readily available from McMaster Carr, Grainger, online, etc.

    NO. Best description i can give is there a unslotted mach. screw. Subsequently the head looks just like a rivet. Great for restoring items with riveted hinges, headlight buckets, anything that orig had a swaged dome head rivets.

    Re: Threaded Rivets

    Are you talking about drive rivets? They are often used to attach I.D. plates to castings and similar uses. They must still be available from McMaster etc. as at work we still buy a gauge device that uses them to attach an etched instruction plate. It's a industrial tool {Lufkin}that hasn't changed for 50 years or more and I assume Lufkin still buys the rivets from time to time. {unless they bought a couple of hundred thousand of them 20 years ago and are still using them up}.

    Restoration Specialties in PA carries a 10-32 thread x 1/2 in. threaded rivet. Another alternative is to use machine thread carriage bolts. Most all fasteners now must carry grade markings so you may have to file or sand these off. Rest. Spec. no. is 814-467-9842
