Title: Removing ID Plate Post by: Old_Mt_Isa_Boy on February 26, 2011, 01:03:10 PM I am getting the FC blasted and primed. To avoid damage do I remove the ID Plate from firewall before blasting and if yes I am assuming a simple removal of both rivets.
Thanks in advance. Regards Wayne Title: Re: Removing ID Plate Post by: EffCee on February 26, 2011, 04:35:22 PM Wayne,
Yes you would need to remove the ID plate, Ken (mcl1959) may be of help here, IIRC at one stage he had genuine replacement rivets for sale Keith Title: Re: Removing ID Plate Post by: mcl1959 on February 26, 2011, 07:25:14 PM Wayne, after you have removed the sound deadener from the inside, carefully squeeze the back of the rivet together and it should then tap out - you reinstall by pushing the rivet back into place and then selecting a punch the exact size of the hole in the centre of the rivet and gently tapping inwards to spread the back out again.
