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. </span></span>

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.

Hi,
<br class="">
<br class="">I'm looking to replicate the 4 rivets used to mount the commission plate on my TR2.
<br class="">
<br class="">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 class="">
<br class="">Has anyone had success finding this type of rivet?
<br class="">
<br class="">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 class="">
<br class="">Cheers,
<br class="">
<br class="">Brian
