And now you know...
Thinking about when it comes time to rebuild/restore the 85 442's transmission, I'm going to have to remove the original ID tag to keep it from getting hosed up. But I will need a new drive screw rivet to put back in its place. I'm thinking I'll need to tape up the face of the tag and carefully drill out the rivet head to remove the tag. Hopefully I can get it out without screwing something up.
Anyone ever replace them?
Amazingly, these screws are still available from GM. Who knew? GM p/n 8622361. They list for $7 and change from the dealer. Gee-zus!
Other fastener companies have them too. Although I'm not sure of the exact size.
Fastenal has a page of them here. Different sizes.
