[QUOTE="Steph Boeker, post: 500983, member: 32953"] I have a Lone*Star 14/54 w/ identical brackets. I took the port side bracket out by punching a dimple in the rivet and using a 1/16th drill bit 1st and an 1/8" drill bit next, ... , not through but just enough to separate the head from the pin. Then I replace the rivets w/ 4 1/8" rivets using a $50. impact driver from Harbor Freight. The whole job turned out fine. Only, now I have the boat painted w/ 4 alum. rivets that have no paint. :) Hehehehehehe [/QUOTE]
