Folks
Lets back up a bit. The turn button for the earlier 6 cylinder cars, like =
BN6, is the same part number (Moss) and part, and in real life the same as =
the 100 cars. On the 100 you use two screws to fasten the turn button. Hav=
e never have seen the 100 cars use anything other than number 4 sheet metal=
screws. By merit that the part numbers are the same in the Moss catalog an=
d in real life, the early six cylinder cars used a number 4 sheet metal als=
o. A rivet would have to be much larger diameter. To verify I just install=
ed a new number 4 screw in an original BN4 scuttle top panel and it screwed=
in just like it should.=20
Hope everyone is having a great day. Raining like crazy in western PA but =
still a good day.=20

Thanks Jean. Interesting!=C2=A0
If you look at the Moss Motors parts parts manual it shows a rivet (64) is =
used to attach the turn button. I guess the answer will be the size of the =
attachment holes in the turn buttons/turnbuckles when they arrive.=C2=A0
If screws are used, do they have to go through to the steel or will the tri=
m backing board have enough strength to hold the tonneau? Probably not!

I need to install several turn buttons to hold the front end of my new tonn=
eau cover to the trim over the inner panel scuttle top. I believe the visib=
le vinyl covers a hardboard or similar semi rigid backing. Am I right in th=
inking that I need to use blind rivets to go all the way through this trim =
piece to attach the turn button to the steel inner panel scuttle top? Or sh=
ould this be a screw attachment to the steel? Comments please.
