A/C Condenser Baffle Plastic Rivet

At long last, I'm finally getting to reassemble my engine lid and Carrera tail on my '82 911 SC. There are two rectangular baffles with foam strips (one on each end of the A/C condenser under the engine lid) that were each attached with a bolt on one end and a plastic rivet on the other end. Which end of the baffle does the plastic rivet go in - the hole nearest the top edge of the engine lid or the other hole?
Thanks,
John

I think what I'm calling a baffle is part #9 "cover plate," but the diagram doesn't show the cover plate fasteners - my '82 had one plastic rivet and one bolt holding each cover plate ... I'm "assuming" that's correct and original? ... but my question is which fastener goes where!
Thanks,
John

John,
The 2 side baffle plates, 911-573-027-00, are held into the deck lid using 6mmx10mm allen's with wave washer on the compartment side and a hex nut on the outside deck lid side.

For some reason, my '82 had one plastic rivet on each baffle ... maybe not original? But if the allen head bolts fits, then that works for me!

By the way, my Kuehl A/C works GREAT!

Thanks and regards,
John

John,
Glad to hear you are satisfied with your Kuehl AC system.

For the hardware, use 6 mm steel

Best regards,

Griff
