I presume you mean the rivets holding the flap to the bracket and not rivnuts holding the bracket to the chassis? Did it on dad's last week, drill out rivets, pull out remenants of old flap from bracket, rivet new one in. Might be an idea to use small washers as well depending on what your brackets are like.

When i did mine the rivets were massive and i didn't have any rivetting gear that big so i used a stainless nut and bolt with washers either side instead. still going strong.

if you cut your new flaps 2-3 inches shorter it makes them alot less prone to getting caught when reversing off road etc.
just thought it might help.

Good point Larry, you can also punch a small hole in the bottom then tie/ziptie them to the bumprettes when off roading...or rip them off once and not bother fitting them again!

Bin em they'll only get ripped off. They serve very little useful purpose anyway.

I'm not sure if they were the original rivets (although they appeared to be) but when I took my flaps off I must have snapped 5 drill bits. Those things were hard as diamonds... or is it just me?
