i have a LOT of sets of the correct brown rivets. how many do you need?


now familiar with the 'brown' rivets. What is the difference from other vin rivets?



they used to sell cheap rosette rivets from Russia on Ebay for something like $25a PAIR shipped. these rivets are bare non plated. a LOT of sellers bought them, paint them black and sold for profit.
the correct river is dark brown almost black. these rivets are anodized.
look closely at original and top of line resto cars vin tags. the rivets are a slightly different color than the black tag.
the rivets pictured came from the AMC / Chrysler assembly plant in Kenosha before the closed it down. i think i have had these rivets for over 30 years. got them from a friend whos dad worked at the plant.
