1950 "B" , brake drum rivets. What size do they start out life as? Are they any kind of "special' metal? Are they or something identicle still available. Someone must have changed a drum on mine sometime and used bolts to replace. Looks pretty cheesy with one bolted and one with original rivets. Also any special installation method to achieve the same "mushroom" as original? Since you have "been around the block" so to speak , Mike , I figure you , if anyone,probably have my answers. Thanks in advance. "B".

I have gotten rivets from various farm tractor dealers. They should have a drawer full of assorted sizes. Match up what dia. and head style you need and if too long you can cut them down some. If your holes are worn you will need to go oversized. I once did a model A drums and I think they were 1/2" dia. as they were oversized a few times. I stick the rivets all in and set the heads of them on a large steel plate and I took a large rod and put it in the lathe and turned the end of it to form a radius in a hole and used this to set them with a VERY large hammer. The smaller factory sized rivets aren't near as bad to do. A flat punch may even get them good.

Sorry , Rob , but we are not talking about brake lining rivets. Please read more carefully. Thanks for your info anyway.

I had the same situation on my 50 B right drum. Got the rivets from JD and had my neighbor heat and set them. Part #16H1119A, 5/16"x1-1/8". The only challenge is getting the drum centered on the hub if the rivet holes are egg shaped - like mine were.
