Pop Rivet size for tragkorb latches

[wardie]

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?

I've purchased two different length pop rivets and none have worked.

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


part number 46 54 2 316 689

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

I've pop riveted tons of stuff never found it life changing but the wife and I had three sons that was life changing...thanks

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.
