[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 87391, member: 1523"] For removing rivets, what's worked best for me is a flap disc in a grinder, basically sand the rivet head off (you don't get into the spinning rivet syndrome that way). Pop the seat or whatever free with a screwdriver and then sand the rivet the rest of the way down, then drill a 1/2" hole in a 2x4 and place the board over the outside to act as a block (hold it with your knee) and use a 1/4" punch and hammer to knock the rest out. The board keeps the rivet from distorting the metal. If you weld, just puddle weld over the remains of the rivet head and then sand off the outside head... Jamie [/QUOTE]
