I'm getting ready to mount my rocker panels and I was wondering what is the proper fastening hardware to do the job. I can't seem to find any pictures. Is it a simple phillips machine screw from the top with a washer and nut from below? What about the bottom? Thanks.

Pictures of actual original hardware for reference.
On early cars with aluminum threshold covers the fasteners were natural color nylon "rivets" with a center pin that fixed them in place. Not reusable. But.... some fanatics have "harvested" originals from the outer rows by pushing out the center pin and then extracting the rivet. Later cars with black plastic thresholds got black plastic rivets Attached thumbnail(s)

rgalla9146,
The topic of rivets seems to have been discussed a lot but just for the record, I'm not sure I've ever heard a definitive word on what stock fasteners were. My '73 rockers have never been removed and have the black thresholds with metal rivets...not plastic. |
