Where do you get Vin tag rivits?
« on: June 25, 2011 - 10:51:20 AM »
Ok after a year of sitting on the fence I finally pulled the trigger on a new dash pad form Dave at Roseville. Where do I get rivits for the vin tag? I looked in MCG saw an add but they were $45 for 2 rivits!  :faint:

Is that the only place to get them? :dunno:

Once in a while I spot them on E-Bay. A little cheaper than that, but not by much.

You would think they were made of gold.

I have the dash pad being shipped to my inlaws in PA . They are leaving next Wednesday to come here so if I can get rivits to their place before they leave I might be able to get it installed before Carlisle! I'f not I'll have to wait.  :crying:

My VIN rivets were in good condition on the old pad.  When I sent the core away for re-cover I very carefully saved the rivets.  I was able to reuse them as shown in the picture. PK
