Hello All, Looking for some help please! I had my radiator surround from my 1930, model 733, limousine re-chromed and the cloth liner and all the rivets were removed and destroyed.

I am trying to locate a source to replace these. I believe that the rivets are bifurcated rivets and I think I have them as part# 139489 but not certain as the book doesn't show a ledge liner for a
Model 733..

Can anybody please shed some light on possible part numbers and availability.

Thanks and regards, Colin

Are they not just regular split-rivets and hood-lacing?

Big Kev, You will have to forgive me, I am fairly new to all this so I have not heard of hood lacing, thank you. I will chase this up with my upholsterer now that I know. You are correct, the rivets are no issue and are readily available. Thanks again, Colin

Don is implying that it would probably be some standard type, like one of these:restorationspecialties.com/Channel-Hood-Lace_c_234.html

I got mine from Kanter, I got to use my Grandfather's tailoring hole punch to make the rivet holes when I installed it!
