You drill them out.

Its a pop rivet very easy to drill out as only very thin.

When in doubt google it ;-)

Pop rivets are easy to drill out as said. Wait until you get to the spot welds, they are a bit harder to remove.

Use a proper 'spot weld drill' so you dont make a mess of it or the panel underneith, its a flatter type of drill with a sharp point to it which will go into the pop rivit hole .

without a pic of the whole panel you can't tell, all seat base brackets look like that.

For a spot weld yes. And the spring type ones are s**t. You only need a normal drill bit for a pop rivet. Get the right size bit, drill until the head pops off and knock the tail through. Do it right and you wont touch the panel. Job done Thumbs up

I just grind a normal hss drill to a flatter angle and to make it more controlable I would flatten the rake out a bit. Smile

Im not saying not to use a drill but i found a drill takes longer and can move around, so i use the spot weld drill for better control, one blip and its gone as they are sharp, drills are not as. If poster hasnt got one then drill is fine but if he has then worth using it instead of.

Each to their own. And more importantly what suits the person drilling. I am just picturing being at work drilling off rivets in an aircraft skin with a spot weld drill Laugh my ass off

Yep that will take a while and the op might not know the size of the rivet hole. Once the top of it is off the rivet just falls out when iv done it on the 306 wings.

you only need to take the top off it so anything bigger than the shank will do Big grin

I agree. Rivets are made of cheese anyway, probably be able to get them off with a hammer and chissel.

I'll get the drill on them bas**rds tomorrow then! Maybe get some money out of the car rather than pumping it into the car. I didn't even find any money when I stripped the interior, what a spin out! Everyone seems to have found money when they strip theirs, I end up with nothing. Did you have a once over before you sold it Ash?
