Hi, y'all. I ordered a set of hub cap clips for my '64 and today I
was looking at them. Here's a picture of them:

I'm not sure how to attach them. Do I need a rivet gun of some sort?
What you see in the picture is all that was in the bag. I mean there
are 3 more of them than you can see in the picture, but that's it.
Was there supposed to be some kind of backing for the rivets? I'd
like to get these installed but am not sure how to go about doing it
the right way. I'm sure I could get some small machine screws with
flat heads on them and some nuts to fit them and attach these clips
that way, but am curious to know if there's a simple and correct way
to attach them that I don't know about. Thanks in advance for
responses.


You have to put the rivet through the clip and rim and then flatten the back
with a hammer so it won´t come loose.
I did mine years ago. I used an old bold M12 which came from the steering
frame.
Drilled a little hole on the top where the threads are so the top of the
rived would be seated in there when you smack the back. I remember it was a
bit hard balancing the rim on just one bold but doable.

Luck,
Roger
