Brake Lining Rivets
Brake lining rivets, or clutch facing rivets, typically have a 150-degree flat countersunk head. They are recommended for the attachment of friction materials and are designed for securing brake linings to brake shoes or disc brake pads. The countersunk rivet head is designed to mate with the counter bore in the friction material. Industry-standard brake and clutch rivets have straight, semi-tubular holes.
