Silly question - How are they supposed to fit? My bonnet has holes close to the corners and my rubbers are held in place with bifurcated rivets that don't show on the outside.
I am fitting new ones, so can someone please tell me how they should be mounted? I do have copper and black bif-rivets.
Personal irrelevant note - "bifurcated" was one of my first 50 words as my Dad was an airframes fitter. I am a Met Man (or was) and one of my daughters first words was " Contrail"
Well, we should know that they are not Austin bonnet corners.
They are modern 'Holdtite' generics which are very slightly vaguely similar.
Austin corners have raised ridged edge detail
The correct flxings are double cap tubular brass rivets. Not bifurcated rivets, nuts and bolts nor glue.
