[Healeys] Rivets and assumptions

[Rich Chrysler]

I have never seen the clip that the rivet holds being used to hold the rim
on an Healey. That goes for the early more rounded off and narrower rims of
the Hundreds, through the wider, flatter rim of the 3000's.
The top edge of the chrome rim fits behind a raised lip of the bucket edge
at 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock. The rim is held there by the single screw
coming u from the bottom into a captive clip on the bucket at about 5
o'clock. I believe the rivets I've seen are usually stainless steel, so have
a very slight yellow look compared to the blueish chrome of the rim.

Old parts were used. Then new parts used or old parts found in a corner so
were used out of sequence.3000s with 100-6 grill badge or horn bottom.  Non
rivet find may have been installed during , before or after rivet rings were
used.
I guess I will restore a good used ring with rivet.  I will look to see if
rivet holds clip on nos bucket assembly I bought.
