License Plate Light Assembly - Rivet Finish?
« on: May 17, 2018, 01:09:46 AM »
I'm putting my license plate light back together and I know the body was zinc dichromate, but what about the rivets that held the two pieces together. I assume the assemble was finished before rivets went in and the rivets would have either a clear zinc or be natural steel rivets. Anyone know if they had a finish on them?

Thanks,

Jason

Drilled out ones are steel (magnet test) which should be zinc (tumble) plated to be rust proof.

Thanks all, that helps a lot.

Take a peek at the attached photos, does everything look good here? Sorry they are a little blurry...

I have it, just wasn't in when this was taken, was more looking at the finishes of things and how it came together...

But thanks for looking at it so closely ;)
