Oliver 70 restoration - front grill question

sunman · Aug 9, 2013

The clips on my grill screens are gone. Previous owner wired them on. Any ideas how to fix this?

How handy are you? Can you drill those rivets out and make some new clips out of sheet metal then rivet them back on?

go down to where they sell steel and get a peace of banding. bend them up in your vice.do not touch the rivets that are there on the grills.drill to holes on the new bracket and tack weld

I actually combined both your replies...drilled out the old rivets and pop riveted a piece of banding material on. I can fill in the rivets and make them look like the old rivets. The banding has some spring to it...I think it is going to work well. Thanks!
