Hola desde España!
I’d like to ask you for advice regarding some repair that I need to do on my Dart 15. A shroud pin failed yesterday and of course the mast went down. Luckily no one got hurt and there was very little damage to the boat all things considered.
One guide/ rail were the jib sheet block is attached was ripped off. It is a rail that allows to adjust the place where the jib block is attached forwards and backwards. I’m trying to share a photo here:

The guide seems to be fine but I have to reattach it to the boat. My question is what size and type of rivet should I use. It looks like the diameter should be 4.8 but I’m clueless about the length, and whether it should be aluminium, monel or if stainless steel would also be OK.
I’ve looked into the parts list of the Dart 15 I once downloaded from the Dart 15 association website and I’ve also browsed the Windsport online shop website but I have not found any information.
I I could source the rivets locally I would be able to be back in the water sooner. Considering I’m currently enjoying my holidays’ last week that would be super nice.
Thank you very much for your help!
