Title: Pop Rivet size for tragkorb latches
Post by: wardie on May 16, 2017, 06:54:55 AM

I had to purchase a used side cover/lid for my left saddlebag/tragkorb. I've purchased two different length pop rivets and none have worked. SAE size 1/8" diameter.


Cab anyone tell me in inches what size pop rivet I need to rivet the cover latches onto the cover?


This is turning into a PITA. Wardie

How have they not worked? Describe what happened. Don't be so shy about supplying information about the length you used either. Approximately 1/2"/13mm length should do it.

won't hold not long enough


Looking at Max fiche looks like 14mm long or about 9/16" length

Go get the correct length and follow the instructions of your rivet-installing tool. It will be life-changing.

I went the pop-rivet route which was a very lucky outcome for the kids I never had.

I used 1/8" on mine, with washers.  Don't remember the length but it was a standard size.  I had the compressed side of the rivet on the inside of the case, but I have the old style latches, newer ones may differ.  Not particularly life changing.

Which latch type?  I just riveted some of the flat-key latches yesterday, using 1/8" x 3/8" rivets and washers under the heads.  The newer latches (with the round locks) may need a different length.
