Question People with SS Rivets in Their Painted Engine Covers

Does anyone know the size, etc. of the hardware used below in the fuel rail covered area?

What size hole to drill, any washers used, nut underneath???

Thanks!

I used Teks Lath Screws (#8 x 1/2" ). They come in a box of 260. I think I got them a Lowes, but it might have been Home Depot. I have CRS, so you might have to try both places. As far as drilling, I think it was a 1/16" bit. Again CRS. Just make sure it is smaller than the screw. These screws are self tapping, so just take your time. Sorry about the pic size, but I just wanted you to be able to see good.

They are vinyl decals from reflective, forgot whether that was designs, or ind. Actually are light silver but look white. Under the right light they are a little reflective. You can get all kinds of colors, reflective or regular.Think they were about $20 and the v8 one came free.After I put them on I clear coated to help them from coming off.
