Rocker panel rivets, (Again) Options

[chmillman]

Do you mind taking a picture of where you installed them and the condition of what was under the rocker panels? Would be curious to how they look.

I didn't take any pictures of the longs with the panels off. But basically they looked shiny like newly painted, just wiped off a light dusty coating with a damp rag. The 'crud' was actually accumulated on the inside of the rocker panels, when I took them off most of it just fell out on the floor and a light fiber brush got rid of the rest.

Below is a picture of a screw head in place and next to it there is a plastic rivet that holds on the sill cover for comparison. There was the same plastic rivet before where the screw now is. Mine are (were) all semi-transparent. The rivets are single-use only, you destroy them pulling them out.

My 1970 has white plastic rivets as original. I don't know if they're available today.

I just did a search for these (999-591-550-40). They are available from Porsche, and other vendors. Depending on where you look, you can get clear, white, or black. Best I can tell, the white ones are nylon and are made by Jorg.
