37 T-Plane hood lace

Can anyone give me examples of how the hood lacing is attached? I used screw nails for the back side and tried rivets on the front, but I can not get the rivets tight. Is there a technique or tool that may work?

I am also looking for the fastners for the stainless trim that goes along the side of the hood. There are 6 pieces total with the 2 in the middle being longer than the others. I had enough for 5 pieces so I am just looking for enough to fasten one piece.

    I seem to recall using a sort of screw nail on mine, that you hammered down. You say they aren't tight....are you sure you're using the correct diameter. Have you measured the old ones? Here is a page from Restoration Specialties in Windber, Pa. -- they have a number of sizes of screw nails and body nails. http://www.restorationspecialties.com/2005%20catalog%20pdf/2005%20CATALOG.pdf

    The screw nails worked, I can't get the rivets tight enough on the front holes..

    Found out the rivets are what was used. Still looking for the fastners for the stainless trim piece on the side of the hood. I had salvaged enough to do 5 pieces, but need some to put on the 6th. If anyone has any, let me know.

    Thanks!
