[QUOTE="nkt267, post: 4255, member: 245"] I don't know if you have had replies of forum.I had trouble getting rivets long enough so I got some alloy bar about the correct diameter. First I used assembly compound (loctite 638 or equivalent) to lock the stays into the casting as the new stay was a sliding fit in the casting( I used stainless).Drill for the size of bar that you bought,cut the alloy bar approx 1/4 inch longer than the width of the casting.Put the bar through the hole you drilled and support the back and tap the bar a few times to start it spreading turn over and repeat till the hole in the casting is filled and then file of the excess and polish. I hope this makes sense..John [/QUOTE]
