Exact dead-on rivets mid year underhood drip rail

[Tony DiGiorgio]

Hello all, Can anyone tell me who sells the correct dead on rivets that hold the wire harnesses clips that appear (one each, on each side about 5 inches from firewall) on the side of the hood drip rail on mid year cars?
Body may drilled mine out and I remember that the4y were an odd size....
Thanks in advance....

Tony -

They're ordinary 1/8" pop-rivets.

There were at least 4 different attaching methods. What flavor midyear are we talking about?

Tony,

As John mentioned, the size specified for this location was 1/8". In addition, as Wayne pointed out, the head style did change from time to time. My 66, for example, has rosette rivets retaining these clips on the fender, the very same rivet that was used for the VIN tag. I have absolutely no explanation as to why this occured at times in the 65-67 St Louis built bodies.
