Bob Howard votes rivets, and Kelvin Dodd votes screws. Sigh. Mine is held on with slotted pan-head screws, but I was curious if that was correct. I think I would prefer rivets myself. Thanks, James

The question regarded early Chassis Number plates, not engine number plates. You and Ed are quite correct that Engine Number Plates are attached by "drive rivets". The question seems to have been an
