Rebuilding a Spitfire ragtop?

Nov 30, 2005 4 Replies

Even though it is cold & snowy in Minnesota(USA), I took the initiative of taking the ragtop out of the garage, and into the warm laundry room. Nice little winter project for me to embark on. That project? Rebuilding my Spitfire's worn ragtop hardware and slapping on a new ragtop.



Questions:



How big are the pop rivets I'm supposed to use on the front seal headliner supposed to be? I'm going to dread drillnig out each & every one on this thing, since I'm just not that good at pop riveting.
