I am looking for rivets for the stock subframe connectors or jacking rails whatever you want to call them, and also the rivet gun for them too. or does anyone have any alternative to riveting them in, besides spot welding it in? thanks

we just leave them off because of sub frame connectors hit the jacking plates. here is a rivet gun and some rivets

on a conv there is some plates that only conv have stock. that is what he is talking about. they have them because there is no roof and its made to help but they are junk. i would just install normal sub frames and be done.

I know what subframe connectors are used for, i have them. maybe you need to do a bit of research

Edit: might as well get some torque box reinforcement plates while you're at it.

So thats why I was at a loss. Never knew the verts came with something like that. I knew the SN95's came with a G-load brace and Strut tower brace. But eh... learned something new.

I got the torque box reinforcement plate also(upper and lower). I got the MM full length vert connectors and they say to use the jacking rails and the plates. plus I think it will look better then having all the rivet holes showing. I already painted everything ready to weld in just need the rivets.

In my directions for my subframe connectors they call them stock subframe connectors. I know what you are getting at, but they do physically connect the subframes( not good though).
