    69 trim tag rivets

    The trim tag on this 69 looks ok, but I question the rivets and would like some comments if they are or are not correct. Thanks.

    They look good to me. The head should measure 1/4 inch.

      In some cars I have looked at I have noticed that the rivets have a small hole completely through in the center. In the picture I posted, note that there is only a shallow hole in the center. I did not know if this center hole would provide any indication with respect to being original or not.

        If the hole appears "shallow", that means that the mandrel has not been expelled. This is fairly common with these trim plate rivets. If you press on it with a pin-like instrument, it will fall out the rear.
