My recently-purchased 120Y had undergone a semi-restoration. Basically removed panels, paint, etc. The ID plate in the engine compartment was removed and replaced with screws. I'm wondering if they were riveted on, originally. Thanks

I just removed my ID plate (not the Australian compliance plate) from my 1200 sedan ... it was riveted on but not with pop rivets - they were solid

Sedans were built in Aus, but all japan-built 1200s I've seen had the id plate screwed on.

Every 1200 I have owned had screws holding it in place.

Thanks for the info. My buddy just dropped off his rivet gun. To rivet or not to rivet. Hmm. Time for a beer.
