Re: Removing Rivets

I'd imagine drilling them out, then use sheet metal screws to finish up the job.

Re: Removing Rivets

If you're referring to the regulator: These rivets are aluminum and drill out very easily. Use a 1/4" drill in the center of each rivet. Once the head of the rivet is off, use a 1/8" punch to push the stem through. Use 1/4"x20x1/2" bolts, nuts & lock washers. If you're referring to the glass itself, use 1/4"x20 bolts & 1/4"x20 nylock nuts.
