Hey guys,
The Slap Stik chrome plate on my center console is in need of re-plating, and I've noticed that the fastenings are pins that have been peined over. The pins are part of the casting. The only way to get the sandwich apart is to file the pins flat. If I do this, can I drill some new holes and pop rivet the assembly back together? Hope that makes sense, and pictures should help.
Has anybody been through this process before?
Thanks
