This is excellent information and a detail most would overlook. I reduced the
cap diameter of an otherwise correctly sized aluminum pop rivet then glued a
short length of the shaft in place to smoothly fill the hole. It's very
difficult to tell the difference from the factory rivet. I thought this detail
was important and I kept the original commission plate although it shows it's
age.

Yes, I think I was able to find the correct rivets for both early cars
(a drive rivet, not a "pop" rivet) and late cars (a closed-end rivet). If
not exact, they're *very* close. I probably have many dozens of them --

Hi,
<br>
<br>I'm looking to replicate the 4 rivets used to mount the commission
plate on my TR2.
<br>
<br>Pop rivets I am familiar with have a hollow center when the rivet is
installed. The ones used to hold the plate leaves a metal cap in this
opening.
<br>
<br>Has anyone had success finding this type of rivet?
<br>
<br>FYI, Rimmers shows "713531 - Pop Rivet - Closed End Type - 1/8 inch x
1/4 inch" for this application and TRF subs 554407 for this. As 554407 is
also used to hold down the chrome capping on the top of a TR4A windshield
(which I have), I had a look and the rivets used there are also hollow ...
<br>
<br>Cheers,
<br>
<br>Brian
