[TowerTalk] Rebuilding 204BA

[Jim White, K4OJ]

if you drill out the old rivets you can probably simply re-use the same
holes!!!!

it has been my experience that simply getting through t he mushroom head of
the rivet results in the rest of the rivet falling into the center of the
element and your bit doesn't have to touch the element itself....

If you use the same size bit as originally used to make the holes you will
probably have a high success rate at reusing the same holes...keep a small
package of the next diameter size up handy for those holes that get
enlarged by overzealousness.
