Hi William,
I've taken these dimensions from a low mileage all original BN1 built
January '54. See below.....

Answer: From outer edge measuring toward middle, the rivet centres are
placed at 3" and 3 1/2" in. Same on both sides.

Answer: I don't understand your questions. There are no rivets in the
middle.
> C. What is the distance vertically from the rivets to the studs of

Answer: Depending on how neatly the wrap over Amacord surround and vinyl on
lid perimeter, approx. 3 1/4" straight down from middle of two rivets.

The lid is completely trimmed, then the straps are installed on the inside
surface of the front lip. Therefore the straps will be fitted against the
vinyl that wrapped under the lip and glued inside.
Pictures are att'd that may help. All trim is original and undisturbed
except the new straps to replace the broken originals.
