Body Mount Rivets
 
I heard that original cars used rivets to secure the rolled edges in the cockpit to the frame. Can anyone tell me how many were used near the dash and on the rolled edge behind the seats? Pics would be helpful

Thanks

I counted 12 under the front above the dash. In the back I couldn't feel all the way across because of the carpet material near the sides. The spacing does not seem to be even so I would be surprised it they are the same between different cars.

Roughly every 2"
Many cars carried lots of body filler so this covered, Here is an example........

Thanks so much guys. As usual this forum is a wealth of valuable information. I want to install non-functional rivets in my replica and be as true to an original as I can be. Again, many thanks
