I don't know if there is an English word for, I could not find it but
send
you a small picture, we call then "popnagels" and use them wit a
popnageltang (see other pic), do you know them in America?
We are not allowed to use them anymore to fix damage on a car.


They're called Pop Rivets here in the US of A. And as to fixing
the sheet metal on a car, they are only used by "backyard mechanics"
to do quick repairs so they can sell the car fast.


Thanks, In the Netherlands its forbidden to use them in cars.
If you buy a car with pop rivets even if you didn't know, you have to fix it
proprly or you lose your car if the police checks your car..

And Bouler, your English is just fine. I just wish mine was half as good
and English is my first and only language.

Thanks for the compliment wizofwas (special nick;-)
