Since drums/hubs are getting expensive these days I can see why folks now drill out the rivets and just change drums.....but back in my day we never did that as good drums/hubs could be had at the local salvage yard for cheap so I never had to worry about rivets. I can say that in my 62 years I have never seen a front drum that was not riveted. Just ironic but its the truth.

I would not be afraid to run them without the rivets though. Think about how rotors "hang" on the hub in todays world!!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
