9-3 estate parcel shelf roller catches
« on: 08 April 2022, 04:58:30 PM »
Nasty piece of engineering these. One of them has suffered an interior breakage but I cannot see how to dismantle the assembly. It seems that it is riveted together and I am loath to spend out on the very expensive replacement offerings. I might have to but just wondered if anyone has had experience of repairing these wretched things?
TIA
Pete

Can you drill out the rivets? A rivet gun is pretty inexpensive and easy to use.

My next move! I have a rivet gun but the ones on the fitting are special, I reckon I will probably replace them with screws. The ones going through the pivots for the release catches are long ones with possibly spacers; I'll work it out lol.
