Recommendation For Attaching Horse Trailer Side Pads

Question

Question:

I am replacing my 60inch pads in my 4-star trailer. The original ones are attached by 3/4inch rivets. Should I still use this method of securing my new pads, or should I try something else? Where can I buy these larger rivets?

For the installation of your 60-inch horse trailer side pads, I recommend using the Trailer Horse Pad Screw # PS-8. The pads are installed in the trailer directly via the screws and can be mounted wherever is convenient.
