Also had to buy a few clips from thefloridayard.com exact replica of factory in size but I don't think there tempered right to have proper spring to them, can bend by hand where factory springs back.I have a while before I need so hope can find old wheels to harvest off of if not and have to have then will buy more from Floridayard.com have a few hope to get enough to do factory harvested at least to do every other one with the springer one's...

Sorry fellas I can find no reference on the microfiche to a separate p/n for the hubcap clips. As the clips were riveted to the wheel, they were probably never considered a replacement item. Note, the microfiche panels are Toyota dated at Jan. '81, in the event somebody finds a Toyota p/n for that clip produced after that date.

Rivets are easy - go to an ag machinery outlet and source rivets for a header, windrower or sickle bar mower. Push them thru from outside, sit the head on a chunk of suitable metal and peen the back with a small ball peen hammer - trim the rivet so there's only an 1/8 or so thru the hole first.
