Very helpful.
I figured it went along those lines, but with these vehicles, until you do
it, you never know what extra steps lurk. It is a PITA. I know I'll have to
do it with my 110 eventually, too.
Often when I look at old vehicles, and see bits that should have been
changed, if the reason they weren't isn't monetary, it is usually because it
is a huge multi-person PITA to change the part.
I too use the rivets you mentioned. Cost a bit more, but I can install them
myself and I get how they work. I'm just as baffled as to how the other ones
work. Another instance of having to experience it to see it with my own
hands. I just ordered a bunch for my galvanized body cappings.
