Getting a picture without taking it off is difficult plus it is cold and dark now.
Parts List shows
5240538 Spacer
5240539 Rivet
Spacer looks like a chromed tube.
Top of rivet looks like chrome too.

Subject: [Tigers] Hardtop Vent Window
Hey,
I recently restored my hardtop and had all of the hardware rechromed. To get the best results I took everything apart as much as I could. When it came time to put things back together I had a little problem with the pins that hold the vent window latches together. I think I used a small nail or maybe some welding rod, but whatever I used has fallen out. In the photo below I have circle the parts that need to be pinned together.
So my question is, what is the "right" way to do this. Like I said, I tried something like a nail or welding rod but whenever I tried to peen over the ends, the pin would buckle in the middle. I tried using a press and tapping with a small hammer. But there must be a right way to do this.
Help,
Joe Brown
