i just purchased a trunk for my 31 chev. My question is. I need to find the pop ribits they used to hold the latches and trim on with. The trim looks to be nickle as well as the ribits. Trouble is that the ribits don't have the hole going all the way throught it to use with a modern ribit gun. If anyone knows of a place i can find some please let me know. I guess i would need the gun also.


These ain't for old guys any more.
