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. Have 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 and in real life, the early six cylinder cars used a number 4 sheet metal also. A rivet would have to be much larger diameter. To verify I just installed a new number 4 screw in an original BN4 scuttle top panel and it screwed in just like it should. </p><p class=MsoNormal>Hope everyone is having a great day.
