While getting rid of tinworms I found a number of ancient bifurcated rivets, about 1/8"dia with 1/4" dia heads or maybe a little less on the top inside edge of the rear wheel inner wheel arch. They were at regular (~6") intervals with the head on the inside of the car.
What might they have been for? Holding the soft trim in place perhaps? amazingly no sign of corrosion around the holes, and their legs were still splayed out & intact under the paint etc, despite being exposed to everything thrown up from the wheels.
