cmroles 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 So, last night I finally did it. I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes (well, maybe I peeked a little) and took the 18V Makita to the "extra" rivets in my receiver. So far the results are great! This is in no small part to all the great info I found on this forum. At this point it is completely stripped, the pins / welds etc are all drilled and the bottom of the receiver is repainted with some Rustoleum High Temp paint. I went by the hardware store and picked up the nylon hole plugs that everyone recommends (another great tip from this forum). After putting them in they look just like the other rivet-heads, a perfect match! So now I'm just cooling my heels waiting for my conversion parts to arrive......they better show up soon before I just randomly find other stuff to take apart.....
