What have you used to fill old rivet holes..

karlp606 · Aug 18, 2021

So I’ve got a few old rivet holes on the back body area around the rear lights, I’ve looked at rubber grommets as I don’t want to buy a rivet tool, and also looked at JB weld but would rather have a standard look after I paint them. I think the holes are 4.8mm?

What has everyone used to fill old rivet holes??

Stick some screws in the holes, cut the head off as flush as you can, file it down and paint over it

Maybe you were looking at “rivnut” tools? They start at about £20-25.
