Subject:drilling out and replacing "snap" rivets
From:Andrew Gies
Date:Mon, 26 Apr 2004 09:41:41 -0500

I would like to remove the rear-most panel sections on my Westy.  These
happen to be the ones that have the rear hatch screen "snap" connections
riveted through the panel and into the frame.

Does anyone know what size drill bit should be used to drill out the rivets,
whether the old "snaps" can be re-used and what size of rivet should be used
when it comes time to re-attach the panels?

Thanks...
