The Ford Barn

On the 1930 Murray Town Sedan 155-C (and I suspect on the standard Fordor as well), the rear fender well is attached to the wood body frame using three countersunk rivets that go through the sheet metal and an L-shaped steel piece that attaches to the wood body rear cross member and to the body perimeter wood. Countersunk side is the fender well side, and they are peened over in the inside against the steel piece. I'm looking for the rivet size used to hold that together. I had to grind them out to get the steel frame member out, and the holes are a bit too small for 1/4" rivets, but seem too large for 7/32" rivets. They were quite tight when they came out. Does anyone have a body parts book that lists the size of those rivets? Sorry I don't have the part number.

Thanks a million.
