weiBes trooper Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 T get the knee plate off,i would use a drill bit the same size as the rivet hole and drill the head off the rivet.you only need to drill until the rivet head releases from the rivet body and spins on the tip of the drill.dont push hard while drilling,the rivet is soft and will drill easily.to fill the holes i would use small white plastic plugs or JB weld,fill the holes and sand lightly until smooth,then polish the area with Novus plastic polish and paint.hope this gives you a starting point.WeiBes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooperexpert Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Make sure to use a pair of plyers to grip[ the rear of the rivet when you drill and dont go too fast. Since it is a desert trooper, add a piece of plastic to the back of the area to be filled in first. That gives it something to latch to when adding either bondo or JB. I would use bondo myself.. wet sand it smooth and then why worry about polishing it? Make that area dirty! Happy drilling! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
