 |
|
My two cents on removing solid spar rivets:
I'm drilling the heads with a #20 drill down to about even with the
sheet metal and then using a Stanley wood chisel to remove the head.
Three or four hits with my little hammer and the head goes flying.
Barely even scuffs the surface of the sheet metal.
When I'm all done the chisel won't be worth much, but it was pretty cheap.
Getting the rest of the rivet out I use a small pin punch and whack
it a few times.
