Cleco Size

[Railroad]

I am trying not to buy the wrong stuff, but am eager to have something to work with when the kit arrives.
I thought I had read the rivets are 3/16, but again saw where 1/8" clecos were needed. Do I need both?
Thanks,

1/8" is what you need. There are not many 3/16 rivits used.

Probably have over 100 Clecos, all 1/8". About the only thing I use 3/16" rivets for are attaching cushion clamps for fuel & brake lines and wiring harness. Even for those I usually pre-drill for 1/8", holding them in temporarily with the 1/8" Clecos. I go back later when everything is positioned and permanently mount them with the 3/16" rivets. If you are only going to be building one car, get 50 or so 1/8" Clecos and the install tool, that should be plenty.

Thanks guys,

I've used a handful of the 3/16" clecos. If you get 10, you'll have plenty.
