Brake and clutch rivets from KBC are used for bonding linings and facings to shoes, plates and discs. We stock a full range of sizes and materials so you can match the rivet correctly to the job rather than making do with whatever is in the drawer.

Brake and clutch rivets in copper, brass and steel

Rivet choice matters more than most people think. Too soft and the head deforms under clamping load. Too hard and it can crack the friction material as it sets. Matching the material and diameter to the lining is what gives you a relining job that lasts.

Used for:

• Riveting brake linings to drum brake shoes
• Riveting clutch facings to clutch plates
• Fitting clutch buttons to discs
• Industrial and mining friction assemblies
• General workshop relining work

Frequently asked questions

Which rivet material should I use?

It depends on the friction material and the clamping load. Copper and brass are common for brake linings, steel for higher load applications. Send us the details and we will advise.

Do you supply rivets in bulk?

Yes. We wholesale to the trade, so bulk quantities are standard rather than exceptional.
