67ss May 26th, 02, 10:12 AM The rear bumper on my 67 has the license plate holder riveted in place on the bumper.My replated bumper doesn't have this mounted.Where can I get the rivets and how do I put them in?Any tips are appreciated. ------------------ John 67ss ACES #2887 Team Chevelle Gold #127 rthlc May 26th, 02, 10:31 AM There was a thread the other day about original rivets which attach the grill to the bracing on the front of a '67. Someone gave a link to lutty's chevrolet ( www.luttyschevy.com (http://www.luttyschevy.com) ). They have some bolts which look like a rivet from the top but screw in from the back... might be just the ticket, post back if they have what you need, I'll probably want to replace mine someday too. ------------------ Rod 67 396 SS clone Daddy's Red Car (http://www.geocities.com/rthlc/index) [This message has been edited by rthlc (edited 05-26-2002).] ftgallant May 27th, 02, 7:58 AM I dont think Luttys has those rivets for license plate bracket. Those are much bigger.I am in the same boat on my 66 rear bumper. I was going to cut bracket off blast and paint, then use short stainless bolts. It stays hidden under flapper license plate holder.
