I'll let you all know how it turns out. I'd like to do the charge pipe with upgraded diverters next. But if I can't figure out a pop rivet there's no sense in that project!

OCC is installed. Pop rivets no longer haunt me. Pretty straight forward deal.
I ended up having to zip tie the OCC to the V shaped strut brace. The supplied hardware was no where close to fitting the shape of the bracing. Also I hope the lack of clamps won't be an issue. Does anyone have an idea of what the pressure is moving through the OCC. I can't imagine a whole lot.
Cutting the back of the engine cover is a major help.
Anyone know the best place to source small fasteners for our cars. I noticed a few missing in my engine compartment during this process.
Thanks again.

I'm looking for engine cover bolts, pop rivets, and maybe one or two other small fasters. Probably $5 in parts. Shipping could be triple that!
I'm hoping the dealer will sell them to me.
