1969 Camaro rear bumper center bracket/rivets

[KevinW]

The rivets are not really in there that tight. Just use a small Dremel cut off wheel or die grinder on the back and you can punch them out with a cold punch. Then go down to you local hardware store/Lowes/HD and pick up some correctly sized stainless carriage bolts. Put the bolts into your drill press and contour the head to match the rivet with a 4&quot; grinder while it is spinning. Then press the bolt head into some wet sandpaper while spining to get a good swirl mark. Then install into bumper and bracket with a nylon lock nut. You may need grind the bolts inside square nubs a bit to get them into the bumper hole. I used a needle nosed vise grip to keep the bolt from spinning while getting the nut on. Once installed, very hard to tell and it wont rust [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
