Hot Rods Guide headlight tag rivits

Putting my guide buckets on my project and cant come up with the 4 little rivits to mount the guide ID tags. Anyone have any i could buy? Cant seem to get any small enough

 

Check hobby stores in your area, or on line model railroad websites.

I think these guys sell all the pieces to restore originals.

I bought small brass screwa. A little work on the heads removed the slots. I can then take them on and off at will. They look exactly like the rivets.

 

I used small brass nails, (after I epoxyed the tag to the bucket) then bent over the nail on the inside.

 

Hi. Go to your local alternator rebuild shop. The tap in rivets they use to put the tags on alternators, starters, generators, etc should work. Jimmie

 

Rick Bales has the tags and the rivets. Do a search for the BLC tags. D

 

^^^^ Buy small hobby shop brass machine screws, and chuck in 1/4" drill to sand off top of screws to remove screw slots. Install using washers under nuts inside headlight shell. The washers will aid in grinding off nuts to remove tags, if blue lock-tite was used when installing them. Make a new set to re-install tags.

 

I was able to find some ultra small stainless round head screws lock and nut at the local hardware store. they will do the job...not anal perfect but aok

 

I found the correct rivets at hobby lobby.
