Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
Just bought 4 sets for some of my projects. One was a cab change from rust and the other is just a full out resto and did not want to leave the plate on for blasting, body work and paint. Well worth the small cost. Their was a guy on here awhile ago selling them for $25ea so $50 for a set of 4 is a good deal.

Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
The important thing is that the "Rosette Rivets are different than the ones on my 68. The rivets there are more of a standard design rivet, but with a 5 sided head and not starred out like a Rosette.

Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
You don't need a dremel, just a punch and a drill.

Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
For the price of 2 rivets I can buy a whole kit of dremel attachments.

Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
Look at it this way, you need 4 rivets for the job (to make it look right). The dremel is a great idea, BUT can you do it to make MR. Johnny LAW believe it is the correct process. That is why these sell for so much.

Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
Believe me, those things are hard and do not squeeze evenly. I have enven cut the section out of the door frame of a atruck to try something like this. sometimes it works, sometimes ayou get a mess.

Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
Yep, done that--pretty easy on a truck. Unfortunately on a blazer or suburban, you can't get behind the b-pillar as it is a closed box. So just pop some out of a junk yard truck and reuse them.

Re: Identi Plate? Pop-Rivets Originals
I can get my hands on some similiar type. im going to take a dremel to some and see if i can get them the same.
I'll let you know if i can make it work, might be worth $10.00 a piece
