I figured I'd start this thread since this board is more detailed focused than others out there and we tend to geek out over the small stuff. Lets see some hardware     |

| I would try a drill press with a light touch to just eat through those fingers that are holding the button on. |

you can also try pounding a nail set through the middle as long as the rivet behind it has a hole to fall into. Maybe place it over a large nut . ------------- http://www.MachineCollector.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.MachineCollector.com http://www.DAEdenim.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.DAEdenim.com |

I've always used a wire cutter, if you go low on the front side, the blades tend to slide right under the button and clip it nicely. ------------- I make things out of http://www.hollowsleather.com" rel="nofollow - leather . |
