I dont know what they are called, but the rectangular blocks that are riveted to the luff at the front of the batten pockets are falling off. Are they special rivets? I need to pick up something to fix it. Also one of the rivets are broken on the jib halyard cleat on the mast. Special rivet too? Thank you.

Luff batten caps, Pocket protectors.

There is a kit with screws and nuts to replace ones that fall off. #80550005

Downhaul Cleat? Catalog shows the rivet as #8010121 That is a pop rivet that is 3/16" Diameter. You should also use a seal cap, rivet cap #8011291.

Thanks Matt. I was wondering if I could use stainless rivets for these applications. I have both aluminum and stainless rivets.
