Re: Rear hatch question

I disassembled one that had a broken spring and that rivet has a very large shoulder. I drilled the peened end to remove my plan is to reuse the rivet and weld the rivet back in were I drilled the peen away if that makes sense. If you get a bolt that fits the mechanism that has a shoulder no threads cut it so it just contacts the peened hole should be the small one and weld it. Could have something machined also, sorry using my cell phone to type lol, on vacation. I can get you a picture of the rivet when I get home.
