Axys running board rivets.

[I8URCAT]

Replacing a running board on a 17 163 and have been to two dealers trying to get oem type rivets and for some reason they are cad plated gold and the originals are silver. Matched the part number from online wholesaler's fiche to what the dealer had on their computer and on the shelf and yep they're gold. Anyone know what part number I need for the silver ones?

just go to fastenal or something and grab a box of 3/16" ones with proper grip range.

I use these on everything, multigrips are really convenient and they’re a tough rivet. If you don’t want to wait for shipping your Yamaha dealer has a similar rivet in stock but it’s more expensive.

3/16" stainless steel. Just go but them at your local hardware store. The gold ones are yellow chromate coated steel. They rust.

I buy these in plain aluminum, and several painted colors.
1,000lb of clamping force
Multi-grip
easy to drill out

They are awesome, and by far the best rivets for the money, and I have used THOUSANDS over the years building and repairing race cars, sleds, and lots of other shop projects.

I just went through this same bullsh*t. Gold plated rivets that go for $1 per rivet plus you need a pneumatic rivet gun to install. I told dealer no way are those stock as stock rivers are a piece of cake to drill out. These gold rivets would be almost impossible to drill out.

I put on some aftermarket boards was not a fan so put stock back on.

I don't think stock are steel as steel is tougher to drill. As I was as able to drill out an entire side, about 17; in about 5 minutes with a 12v cordless drill with a nothing special drill bit.

After way to much research and learning more about rivets than I cared to...I believe stock are aluminum rivets with steel shank and this is what I bought from fastenal and used on my running boards. Fastenal had to order them but can get in any quantity you want

And you can't use aluminum rivets as they turn to mush when trying to pop.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm sure those other rivets would do the trick but I want it to look just like the other side. I'm sure the right ones are available they're just not correlating with the parts diagram.

The ones on the other side are just standard stainless pop rivets.
Hit your local hardware store and be done with it.
