[TR] Commission Plate Rivets

[Don Hiscock]

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 --
certainly several lifetime's supply -- because I had to order a bunch to
get a few.

Here's are details front and back of the early drive rivet.

Send me a note off-list, Brian, and we'll see what we can do.
