Must've ordred mine after they only had the 'M38A1 rivets' left. I'll just use pop rivets. After all my mounting plate is made from a griddle my wife was throwing away. Cut off the edges, sand off the teflon, and Voi-la!

Hope you wore a respirator when you sanded the teflon...that stuff will kill you.
Tim when you call rapco talk to Mark he's the owner and a good guy.
As for the rivets they are 1/2" long with a 1/4" split. You can see them here on my web page.

You have to scroll about an 1/8 of the page down and you will see them.

Yeah... My local Ace Hardware had those. They have both the split and the hollow-stud ones even a little shorter. I talked with the Helpful Hardware Man there and he agreed even the shorter one they had (3/8" I think) would be too long (I brought my stock data plate in to show them).
Thanks for checking though! The search continues.....
