Default Ignition Shielding

My 65 ignition shielding is missing the front clip. Does anyone have a picture they could share with how it should look attached and what the back side of the attached rivets look like? Also would anyone know where I could get some rivets.

Paragon part no. 14260K is the front clip and includes the rivets.
If you like LICS, their part no. is 30-30D. $10 from either source.
The rivets are aluminum I believe with round oval top. The back is partially hollow and mushroom over through the use of special punch made for that purpose.

65 was a transition year regarding those clips. Many had the 64 version almost through the end of the model year. Look on your shielding to see if there is an imprint or telltale marks of the "T" shaped one or the single strap type. The attaching rivets are hollow steel.
