Default Re: 62-66 GMC parklight rivets and lenses
Well, I ended up using small pop rivets which I dont like, but better than the too big rivets they sent with these. Problem with pop rivets or screws is that the shank has to be cut off on back or they interfere with the hood sheetmetal and prevent the lens and housing from seating in the openings in the hood because anything sticking out the back around the edge hits the hood. a couple went through the opening allowing the housing to seat say 2/3 of the way around, but one caught on each of mine and stopped it from snapping into place all the way. I will re-do once the truck gets paint, for now its OK for them to be in there but not perfectly seated. They are snapped in enough to not ever fall out at least
