Rivets for mounting bodywork

What rivets should I use to mount my bodywork to the chassis.

I notice laptoprob has big ass rivet things under his car to hold the body on but I haven't seen em on the tinterweb...





Thanks

I used large head rivets, which I got from ebay.

Closed end ones are a good idea too

I think you're referring to large head/flange RIVETS

I used them to attach the floor but standard ones for the side panels (thats what came with the Fury kit).
