62 Tire Tool Clip

[Greg S.]

The clip in the trunk that holds the tire and jack tools in their respective slots is held by two rivets. I am replacing a long gone clip but do not know if the rivets are inserted from the bottom up or top down. Which way should the rivets go.

Rivet head is on top (in trunk) The bottom is peened on the underside of the car.
Have fun!

Re: 62 Tire Tool Clip

hey fool: not a 2 monkey or homo sapiens job. just put car on lift, elevate car, insert a 1/2" solid steel bar, about 2 feet long,with a dimple created with a 1/4" drill bit on end, lower car onto the peened end of the rivit, lower car on lift(cautiously) till the steel bar makes contact with the peened end of the rivit. then pound the heck out of the rivit head.however, if you have any friends , it goes a lot easier to do it the way previous post instructed. mikie
