Pop Rivets

Post by Jeff Stamper » Tue Oct 14, 2008 9:16 pm

Ok you restoration experts, I drilled out all the rivets from my seat metal and upholstery snaps and as usual, they go in the tubing. Do any of you have a good way to remove them without a bunch of holes showing in the frame. I know I will probably have to make a few holes, but whats a good way to patch them up. Or has anyone heard of maybe pouring something in there that will harden and stop the rattling ?

Here are the latest pics of the kart

I always wondered how to get them out also. All my karts have rivets floating around in the frame tubes, but its hard to hear the rattling when on the track, LOL!
