Ruwag Blind Rivet 4.8x18mm (25) provides a set of 25 rivets designed for fastening materials where access is limited to one side

Ruwag Blind Rivet 4.8x18mm (25) is a fastening component designed for joining materials where only one side of the assembly is accessible. This type of blind rivet is commonly used in automotive repair and construction tasks requiring durable, reliable fastening without the need for access behind the panel.

The 4.8x18mm dimension specifies the diameter and grip length of the rivet, which is important to match with the thickness of the materials being joined. This set contains 25 new rivets, providing a ready supply for multiple fastening points or projects.

When considering replacement or repair, buyers should compare the size and style of this blind rivet with the original part used in their vehicle or assembly to ensure compatibility. Blind rivets like this are typically installed with a rivet gun that pulls the mandrel through the body, expanding the rivet and securing the materials firmly.

  • New condition ensures unused fastening components
  • Specifically sized at 4.8mm diameter and 18mm length
  • Box quantity: 25 rivets for bulk or repeated use

This listing is suitable for those needing reliable single-sided fastening solutions for panels, trim, or other automotive parts where traditional bolts or screws are impractical. For assistance with matching or more detailed fitment advice, contacting the sales desk or using the vehicle parts finder is recommended.
