1968 BB Oil Cap

[Max B.]

Can anyone tell me the correct shape of the "S" rivet on the oil cap for a '68 427/400? I've seen a dome shaped rivet and a flat-faced rivet; both of which were labeled as originals. Which shape is correct?

Thanks,
Max

My opinion is it's the "dome" shaped rivet. However, I'd say that this type PREDOMINATES. That's not to say that other styles might have also been used.

Max, checked my early original 68 cap, it's domed, let me know if you need a picture.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll keep an eye out for one with a "domed" rivet.
