Done a lot of reading on old threads here and have found that sizes for the bolts on the bottom of the rocker covers are 6MM X 12 (or 16 mm long) and the two screws in the fender well are #8X3/4 - but I can't find reference for a sheet metal screw size if you switch from rivets across the top...
Thanks! |

Thanks! Use the rivets. I used pop rivets. The standard aluminum ones. Wrong color of course so I colored them with a magic marker. Looks good. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My '75 had aluminum rivets, which were perfect. My other '75 has bolts, which will be replaced with rivets. |
