Dennis,
When working on a Wixom top box a few years back, I drilled out the
latches and lock to do some fiberglass repair. I used aluminum pop
rivets since the originals seemed to be of the same material. Sure
can't remember the sizes at all but I just found a rivet that fit from
my rivet supply. You also need to ascertain the length of the rivet as
well. And if you find out that you put the wrong one in...just drill it
out and start again.

Listers,
I will be assembling the latch hardware and the mounting hardware to a
set of Wixom bags shortly. Is there anyone out there who has done this
before who knows what size rivets are required? Are there different
rivet sizes for the latches vs the mtg hardware? Aluminum or steel
rivets?
Thanks!
