SABRE WHEEL RIVETS

[ANTHONY]

I HAVE REBUILD AND RECHROMED 1 OF THE 1955 SABRE WHEELS. I HAVE THE NEWLY CHROMED CENTRE PRESSED BACK INTO THE OUTER STEEL WHEEL, BUT CAN NOT FIND A SUPPLIER FOR THE ORIGINAL RIVETS. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A SUPPLIER?

ANTHONY
P.S I AM IN AUSTRALIA SO THEIR WEBSITE IF AVAILABLE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKING YOU.

Anthony -

Three sources here.  

I know I saw them in USA Parts Supplys catalog
(www.usapartssupply.com) - about $3 each as I recall, or if you want the best, try Mike Rizutto at Mastermind (try
http://www.mastermindinc.net TARGET=_blank>www.mastermindinc.net    
Might even be stainless steel if I know Mike...

You might also try Valley Wire Wheel in California - 818-785-7237, since this guy restores Sabres (and he aint cheap...)
Having talked to him, he insists the riveting process requires a massive press and is the most critical step in restoring these wheels...

For the record, these are all sources right out of the Cadillac Parts pages of Hemmings Motor News.

Regards,

Carl

Anthony -
I looked up Valley Wire Wheel last night in Hemmings,
and unfortunately, no website or mailing address.

Looks like youll have to call him
