Which way are you drilling them from? I did mine from the front so just drilling into soft aluminium of the rivet head - I guess if you are drilling from the back, and the snap off steel centre is still in the rivet then that will be harder. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

I did mine yesterday,

Drill from the front you just end up with a collection of 'washer' type bits on your drill Smile they came out easy.

Looks much better now.

Yep was drilling from the front. Suspect my drill bits aren’t the right size. What size did you use?
