I just drilled mine out and can confirm that they are smaller than a mosquito hard-on. Still looking for the replacements. Will let you know if I find something that works.

wacko.gif Just a side note Q..

I though screws were the method most used? I use screws so I can remove the rockers twice a year to clean crap out from behind them. wacko.gif

Aaron, do you really want them permanently attached? Mud and crud collects under there and I remove mine at least once a year for cleaning.

the bottom is held on by screws.... so it can pivot out to be cleaned.

I like little stainless round-head Phillips sheet-metal screws best.

But there is that nagging fear of whether rust begins in the holes and whether that is why Porsche used plastic rivets. Weren't they white? I drilled em out in 1991 and can't remember them no more... unsure.gif
