dl456 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hello , I had intended to polish the paint and chrome pieces on my top frame , but unfortunately they are not going to make the grade. I will have to disassemble and plate/paint. Any guidance or suggestions from somebody who has been there/done that? I assume there are replacement fasteners for the rivetted joints. Is there a good source? Kits? Thanks in advance, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mssr. Bwatoe Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hi Dennis I have seen them sold on a Ford parts sight, but failed to save it--Alan Whelihan Vintage Auto Warehouse lists them I drilled out the rivit end, then drilled it , tapped and installed a short bolt, washer to reattatch..ok , functional but I was looking for a set as well. I had them rechromed along with the irons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kelso Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I have always found or made stainless rivets. No chance of hammering off the plating when installing. stainless will buff to look like chrome. Good luck and take pictures for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl456 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks for the replies. I have not started disassembly but will have to in about a week or so. I will post back with what I find or make. Thanks, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
