Howard, some good suggestions. There is no need to drill the rivets out. I made that mistake on one piece and had to rerivet the strip back to the stainless piece that is fastened to the divisor bar. Weatherstripping cement will hold that strip of rubber in just fine. I'm going to place a strip of wood on top of it and clamp it wth some C-clamps. The rivets don't go into the casting at all, but just into the stainless piece. I would think the 51-54 castings were handled in the same way. I am going to document the steps I went through to have the vent wings rebuilt. I still need to find someone with the clamping glass tool so I can remove the glass from the frame as I want to rechrome it also.
