Plastic rivet pins for BX2380

[ZipFunk]

This isnt a high priority question by any means but I'd like to take the rubber 'floor mat' off my BX 2380 sometime and clean under it.
I assume the rivet pins will break when I try to take the mat off and I'm wondering what pin size I can buy.

I've googled it and I get no real size, just Amazon hits really.

I don't know but if you pull one and take it to your local NAPA or whatever nearest autoparts depot has they will match it to their stock (either loose ones or bagged ones) and tell you the exact size / description.

Good plan. I’ll do that. Thank you.

That rubber caused my “step” (which the “floor” is called) to rot out under my feet because of standing water. Bought a replacement STEP and had it Line-X treated before putting it back on. Now the step will outlast the tractor.!

When I pulled mine out, they all survived. That sounded weird. I found that my floor had some corrosion. When I removed the floor mat, non of the plastic rivets broke. However the floor was really badly corroded since the paint was bubbling and peeling. Fortunately, the floor was replaced under warranty. I assume that Kubota agreed to replace the floor since the rest of the sheetmetal on the tractor had zero rust.

Thanks for this. I haven’t bought them yet so I’ll try to pull them out carefully and see if I have the same luck.
