Stihl metal tag attachment

[BangBang77]

Alright guys, this may be a stupid question...

I have an 066 that I recently bought on OPE. It had the plastic tag on the top cover, but I found a metal tag on fleabay that I'd like to put on it. I have a rivet gun but want it to look OEM. What's the "Stihl" way to attach the metal tags??

Thanks in advance!

I believe they just use solid rivets I'm not sure what size.

I have a bag full in my shop I can get you measurements tomorrow to see if you can find bulk in them. They are spendy when going to the dealer.

They're called "tubular rivets" in the service manuals. I get mine at my local hardware store. You work them in and then flip the cover over so the
button top part of the rivet is on a hard surface and then flare out the tube portion with a punch.
