I’m helping my friend replace the three pieces of the instrument panel in his early model -8. The side panels are attached to the mounting flange with rivets. We want to paint the panel before installing it so my thought was to drill out the rivets holding the original panels and install nut plates in the mounting flange so that we can mount the new panel with flush mount screws.
Any reason that this won’t work or isn’t advisable? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
