[QUOTE="smidge, post: 398172, member: 20138"] well I think I'm actually going to do it the correct way so that I hopefully don't have to re do it again in a few years. What size rivets should i buy? What length? should they be soft or hard aluminum as i have read there are two different kinds. Was going to wire brush the area before installing the rivets, is this necessary? and should i use 5200 as well with the solid rivets? Also what size should i drill out the hole compared to what rivet i use? Also read of a guy that just uses a sharp chisel and gets under the heads and breaks them off. How easy do you think this would be? [/QUOTE]
