My original engine ID was removed and lost a long time ago. I have no idea how or when it happened. I just received a new tag from Clarke Spares. The original rivets are now flush with the surface of the area where the plate mounts. I thought it would be a simple matter to just drill them out and pop in the new rivets. Not so. They told me that the rivets are hardened and suggested that I use a punch to drive them down and then use Locktite on the new shortened rivets. One of the old rivets went down almost 1/8 inch and the other likes where it is. Other than using JB Weld to fasten the plate is there a way to deepen the existing rivet locations?
