: or/ someplace that will remove rivits and replace with hardware 72jim 03-27-2002, 03:11 PM i've got a 72 jimmy and the rivits that are in the front shackles where it meets the frame are loose and making noise when i turn. i need to find a place in portland or close to portland that will remove the rivits and replace them with hardware. i'm not sure if it would be good to spot weld the shackles at the same time or not??? anyhelp would be great --thanks-- Chaz Murray 03-27-2002, 07:38 PM its not that hard to do yourself....grind the head of the rivits off and puch them out...get some bolts and you are set Chaz 72jim 03-28-2002, 10:19 AM thanks chaz, but i don't have air tools or it would have been done already brector 03-29-2002, 07:47 AM Originally posted by 72jim thanks chaz, but i don't have air tools or it would have been done already You don't need an air tool. You should be able to rent a 4" angle grinder or just buy a cheapo harbor freight one for about $20. jekbrown 03-31-2002, 11:27 AM or you could use a drill, drill the rivet head out and pount the rest out with a punch and a big hammer. Thats what I did when I did my shackle flip... you do have a drill right? If not, ya might try 4wpw on 82nd. Sure they could do it in a jiffy, J Capn Insano 03-31-2002, 06:35 PM Dude...buy some tools!!! :flipoff2: what are you welding on your shackle anyway?: | |
