Hi,
I recently purchased a Hobie 17 which I'm bringing back to life. The wing tramps needed replacement, and I've acquired a new mesh set. There is a cross-bar on the wing frame which prevents removal of old and installation of new, and its fitting appears to be riveted in place. Do I need to drill out the rivets, then reattach with machine screws? Or do I just need two strong people to help spread them apart and have it pop out of that casting? If the latter, any tricks or tips I should consider?
Thank you, Chris
