    Brass on mine originally. I think the replacement I bought was steel.

    I have located the original brass hinge, another question though ,what is the correct number of pop rivets and there positioning,I have noticed in my search various scenarios 6 rivets 3x3 and directly opposite each other or 3x2 and should I use brass rivets.

    Here is a photo taken from the back of a new OEM trunk reveal panel and brass hinge. The hinge is obviously hardware store variety. They just chopped it to length and rounded the 4 corners with a grinder. Notice the hardware store hinge had mounting holes close to the center so they just moved the center holes over a bit. It doesn't look like measuring was a big issue.
    The pop rivet are 1/8" steel.
