    VIN plate attaching rivets 1966

    I just received my new 1966 tech and info manual. On page 6 it says VIN plates were attached with rosette rivets. My question is were POP and rosette rivets both used randomly in 1966 on VIN plate attachments as Nolan Adams says they were in 1965?,or was 1966 rosette only?

    In early 1965 the VIN plate attached to the birdcage support bar with normal pop rivets. Somewhere in mid 65 there was a change to rosette rivets. From that point in 65, all midyear Corvettes used rosette rivets on the VIN tag. To reiterate, all 66 and 67 Corvettes used rosette rivets on the VIN tag.

      Hi David/ Ed I think the early 65s used stainless rivets, not normal steel or aluminum Phil 8063
