The new motors normally come with nuts and bolts, so you dont have to use Rivets.

I prefer the rivets. Doesn't the nuts get loose?

humm procrastination I know it well.. i think i had mine for 3 to 6 months before installing

but like every 1 sed it's not that bad of a job.
for me, removing the pop rivets, wear most of the pane.
i weld the nuts to the reg so i don't have to mes with trying to tape em & it will make the next replacement go way quicker!

But all the same If you or any one else needs help getting this done & Palm Desert is not to far away hit me up.
