Mark I didn't read a closer to your previous assertion that the plastic rivot was used for the thresholds and metal for the rockers. Our untouched 73 had factory plastic rivots for the metal thresholds and steel rivots for the rockers.

I just bought 10 sets of the metal rivots . Thanks!

Yes the threasholds on the 914 early style should be a clear rivet. The rocker panels are metal.

However, some of the 911s use these plastic rivets to secure a molding on the side also. So there is a crossover.

Also let me know if there was a mistake on your order and you wanted the plastic. I'll take care of you. I haven't listed these yet but will later this week.

Unless you have a concours car, 1/8 aluminum pop rivets are vastly higher quality than the factory part.

Yes but if you want to remove the threasholdsfor any reason, you have to drill them out. These you push through. At the $1.50 to $3 range each you might think twice. That's why I made them. $10 a full set (both doors) you can do it right and with the correct part.

My car has been apart a long time...and I am getting old(er)

BUT

I am pretty sure that the ROCKERS were affixed with metal rivets (and the rockers can be cleaned out\ to removing the screws/bolts, whatever you want to call them, that attach the rockers to the underbelly of the car. Most of the debris will fall out once those are detached, and a screwdriver or other implement can persuade the bulk of whatever else has been caught up, underneath/inside.

The thresholds were/are held in by plastic rivets...I believe more of a semi clear than a white, in the early years, and black later on.

Hello Markjava script:emoticon(':wavebye:','smid_60'),

I'd would like to get the white/clear rivets from you... did see that they are not yet listed on your website. I visited 914Rubber.com to order some Schnorr washers, but there was no 1st class mail option, so I left a request with you for this option. Please do let me know if I can get these parts and with 1st class mail delivery.
Thanks,
Mark

Please don't infer that I don't appreciate your contributions to the 914 community, because I absolutely do.
