Rivet from the back of C-3PO & DSD

For those that have never seen the rivet from the backs of C-3PO's & DSD's.

I was taking apart a beater C-3PO for a project, and while trying to drilling the rivet, this popped out.  It's mostly intact, except for the rounded head part.  It's approx. 1/4" (0.635 cm) long from the bottom of the rivet head to the tip.

The rivet from some of the FX-7's are quite a bit longer.  They are 5/8" (1.5875 cm) long from the bottom of the rivet head to the tip.  I'll post some pictures of it later.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing that project.

Sounds interesting.
