so the riser assembly was all stripped and wouldn't hold it open. I found a nice replacement riser assembly from taylormade and was all set to swap it out and be on my merry way. so I find out the thing is super riveted to the frame! I tried to drill out the rivets , no dice. long story short, now the while thing is lunched up. if I take the whole hatch out of the deck and grind everything off and get it ready for the new assembly, how the hell do I attach the new one? are there special rivets? I got a bunch of replacement screen dogs as well , but I guess taylor made decided to use some sort of rivet on those as well! anybody ever perform these types of repairs? at this point I would like to just replace the whole thing , but I cant find any 12 x 12 whole hatches! if anybody knows a source please share
