2talltim Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 So today I decided to go out and repack my cans. as I am almost finished putting back together the first one. I realized I forgot to put the band back on under the rivets in other words I wasted eight $1rivets from yoshi. Does anyone know what's the difference between their rivets and a standard one you can buy at hardware store is. or do I need to just spend 10 bucks in order the new ones. sorry about my punctuation and grammar I'm using text to talk on my phone because my hands are a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just buy stainless rivets that are the proper size. They might have used ti-rivets, but doubt it. Just be prepared to use some hand and arm strength. Good stainless rivets are a beotch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 If it's Titanium cans or stainless cans, do not use any aluminum rivets. It will rot out in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 More than likely, Yosh doesn't have proprietary rivets for their cannisters - hardware store should have comparable substitutes, just need the hole diameter and grip length ( depth of what you're riveting ) that should work fine and save time/money over Yosh's parts - sucks man, stainless rivets of any size are a pita to work with. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 if your doing it by hand put a towel, rag something around that area, i have rivetted shit before and when it snapped the rivet, it was so tuff i jerked my hand and it put a scratch in the surrounding area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhaag Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 i used grip length .125-.250 in and dia .196 in for my stainless yoshis on my tlr. your carbon cans might have a thicker wall than the ss cans, though, and may need a longer grip length. i couldnt find ss rivets locally at the time, i ended up ordering from mcmaster-carr.
