Years back, when I put my Tiger together, I decided not to use the
stock pop rivets. Instead, I found that nylon 4-40 pan head screws
fit perfectly inside the trim. There were lots of places where I
could put the corresponding nylon nut on the back, but where I
couldn't, I just glued them into the holes with RTV. I picked nylon
screws rather than steel because they don't rust, and to eliminate one
additional dissimilar metal that might start some sort of corrosion
deal.
This was 1977, and the trim is still firmly in place.

Thanks to all for the wonderful advise. Consensus is it is a shift linkage
problem. I'll let you know how quick I can get back on the road. Now a
less serious problem. I'm worried about loosing the chrome trim. Pieces
of the side stripe have falled off a couple of times at the slightest
touch. Surely others have had this problem. How do I secure them more
firmly?
