Last night I pulled the entire front end off the '81 vette, in preparation for the repaint.
I'm looking for the conical/cone shaped rivets that hold the metal brace to the fiberglass nose. Can't use standard rivets as the will stick out passed the edge. The head is flat and the body is tapered in a cone shape, this fits the recess in the fiberglass.

check with corvette central....
I seem to remember they had something for attaching the nose back on the rest of the body...(if you are are using a fiberglass nose)
I don't think they were rivets...

good luck
 
Dr. Rebuild has a good assortment of rivets and may have what you're looking for. There's a fastener dealer named McMaster Carr (I think) that has them, too.
