it's the first time installing new handles on my 91 vert.I read on here that someone suggested using some screws and nuts instead of the rivets.I've tried the rivets-may be installing them wrong but no luck.Any suggestions would be helpful.Thanks-stockstangs
Those work, too, but for the past three door handles I've put on Foxes, I've just used a good flathead machine screw with a lock washer and a nylon lock nut. The advantage of a machine screw over a carriage bolt is that you can hold the thing in place better with a screwdriver and get the thing cinched down a bit tighter and more easily than perhaps you could with a carriage bolt. I dunno, just my experience with 'em.
IMO, rivets are for people obsessed with making everything OEM. Bolts/washers/nuts are the way to go because hey, sometimes you gotta take that stuff apart later on and drilling rivets out SUCKS.
