Rxt-x 260 changing seat shock plastic plate.

[ogeccut]

My plastic plate holding the seat broke on rxt-x-260. There are 5 3/16 rivets holding the plate. I got all new parts. My understanding that i need to drill out old rivets with 3/16 drill and the old ones will just fall in. Do i need to remove the glove box the get out? Have anyone done this? Thanks for the help.

I bought a used 2012 RXTX. They had recently replaced same plate. I found the old rivet ends in the bilge when I brought it home and thoroughly inspected. The job looks easy, but I think you can just place a pan under work area in hull and let them drop into that. If you have a dremel with metal cutting wheel, cut a groove in rivet head face before drilling. Then place a slotted screwdriver into groove to keep rivet from spinning as it is plastic to plastic grab , drill out center of rivet.
