If you can cut the old rivet out with pincers.  How can anyone not own a rivet gun?

Well after all that, the bloody thing didn't fit, there's a gap a good couple of mill between the top of the new bit and the track. I did manage to drill the old rivet, bought one of those rivet guns and even managed to work it, what is it with dingy bits, no two items are ever the same, even if they look similar.

[QUOTE=iGRF]He also knows that something as old and unchanged as that mast sail feeder has had it's mould/casting costs homologated a hundred times over and probably costs all of sixpence to churn out,
 
maybe they changed it a bit?
