[QUOTE="Stand Up, post: 519271, member: 31842"] I would use a drill bit index that has bits in 1/16 inch graduation. Insert the drill end of the bits into the hole that the rivet was in until you find the one that fits perfectly. Then you know the size. If you're drilling out an old damaged rivet hole, use a bit that will just allow the hole to be corrected and use that bit for sizing the rivet. There are different diameters and lengths of rivets as well as different types of material used to make the rivet so do a bit of study beforehand so you know what is available first. [/QUOTE]
