[DML] Re: Tail-light circuit boards - How about riviting?

["Jeff Phillips" <jeff.phillips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All of this talk about soldering the boards why hasn't anyone 
suggested simply re-riviting the boards?  I've had good luck on the 
one light that I had to do and plan on drilling off the heads of the 
rest of the rivets, removing the hardware, cleaning the board of 
oxidation and then re-riveting the whole thing back together.  No 
smashing with hammers, torquing screws, or overheating the boards.  
Of course I realize that I'm not using copper rivets to reattach and 
therefore may cause some bi-metallic corrosion in the long run, but 
with a good solid clearcoat I don't think I'll be around long enough 
to have to refix it!  :)
