I want to replace the black plastic sill plates with a pair of aluminium plates, which I have on hand.
What is the best way of removing the plastic round headed rivets that hold the current sill plates in place, without damaging the plates? Drilling them out looks tricky. I'd rather not rivet the metal plates, and want to use small self tapping round head screws (I'm not concerned about originality). Is there any practical disadvantage to doing this? Thanks for any advice! |
