Hi fellas
I’m finishing up the restoration of the starter for my 235. It is working just fine but I took it apart to clean it and paint it. I bought a new data plate for it but I’m not completely sure on how to properly install the rivets. Just wondering what has worked for others ?

My rivets were just tap in and they expanded. Came with the data plate.

It cost me 2 drill bits but I got the old rivets drilled out. I ordered a set of rivet punches so I don’t flatten the heads when installing them. I believe I wasn’t sure on the installation until I located the original holes and realized they were not drilled all the way thru. I was thinking I needed a bucking bar of some sort.
Restoration of the generator is next. I believe it is working fine just needs cleaning and paint. Should be pretty straight forward
Thanks for the input
Dan
