(Pop rivets will make fixing it MUCH easier, but if they’re threaded fasteners, I’ll have to come up with a better failed fastener removal strategy than a punch and a BFH.) Took less time to put it back to rights than the field repair took to get it home. Literally five minutes. No rust. And I have 0.1875 pop rivets in the tool box. I’ll drill out the aluminum pop rivets and replace with steel come spring when there isn’t 10” of fresh powder to deal with. (Or maybe not.) Thanks all. Jim |
