Throttle Controller

[sheetssha]

Hello,
I just bought a new throttle controller for my HS50 minibike. The current model has rivets, is there a possibility that I can just pry them out instead of drilling them out? Do I have to take off the housing if I needed to drill them, or can just drill them in place? Also, would JB weld be sufficient to secure the new assembly back on? I know, I am needy but I am brand spankin' new to all of this, but I am having fun so far! Can't wait until spring

Drill out the old rivets and rivet on the new part.

Use the rivets that you can get at your local big box hardware store. I have done this dozens of times.

Drilling is the only way to remove rivets and make sure nothing else is damaged

As for replacing, a rivet set with the hand gun and a variety of different size rivets included is under $20. Spend the $$ instead of making a mess out of things with the JB Weld.
