Used a drill bit as guage & 5/32 was just right for the hole, It appears to be a roll pin.

TIP: For flip-top gas cap Challenger owners;

Once you mount that cap on your Challenger, instead of  sheet metal screws to hold it on, use longer fine thread screws with a self locking nuts on the inside of the trunk. That'll keep your cap from walking.
