1976 13 Jalousie Windows Rivet size

Hello,

I'm replacing the side jalousie windows into the scamp and wanting to know if anyone had the rivet size for these. I tried doing a search through the forums, but couldn't find a size mentioned. I believe it's around 4mm(1/8") inch in diameter.

if it looks like an 1/8" diameter that is what it is. Not going to be a metric rivet.

Window Rivet

Scamp used an odd rivet size on the windows and around the door and a few other places on the early Scamps. It was between the 1/8" and 3/16" rivets used on the later Scamps. I want to say it was 9/64", and at one time you could get them from Scamp. I found some 5/32" rivets that had to be trimmed in length to work. The 1/8" rivets are too loose to seal to use. If I had enough fiberglass, I have redrilled to 3/16" rivets. I would try Scamp to see if they still have the correct sized rivets.
