Frequently asked questions

What is the RU612253 body rivet used for?
The RU612253 body rivet is a blind (pop) rivet that joins thin sheet metal, trim and stowage fittings in the body and panel assembly. It sets from an accessible face, giving a permanent fixing where the back of the joint can't be reached. On these Land Rovers it's typically used on wings, floor panels and stowage brackets.
Where on the vehicle are these body rivets used?
These body rivets secure panels and fittings across several Land Rovers: the front wing and floor on the Defender (1987-2016), air intake deflectors and tool stowage on the Discovery 2, and stowage or fire extinguisher mounts on the Range Rover Classic and P38. They join sheet metal and trim from the accessible face.
How many body rivets will I need for a repair?
Quantity depends on the panel or bracket, since body rivets are installed in multiples along a seam. Count the existing holes on your Defender or Discovery 2 panel and order to match, usually with a few spares. Rivets are single-use, so any you drill out will need replacing with new ones.
What tools do I need to fit these rivets?
Fitting the RU612253 rivet typically needs a hand rivet gun sized for the rivet. You clear or drill the hole, insert the rivet, then squeeze until the mandrel snaps off. It's a straightforward DIY job on body and trim panels and doesn't need specialist equipment.
