MG TD TF 1500 - Parking Brake Disassembly Advice

In disassembling the parking brake on my TF so that I can send it out for chrome, I am stumped on how to best remove the "rivet", or as Abington Spares calls it, the "fulcrum pin" that the parking brake shaft/handle uses to pivot up and down. Is it just the simple case that I need to drill it out and get a new rivet, or am I missing something?

Many thanks.

Yep, grind or drill the head out and replace with a new one. George

The rivet sold by Moss is soft, and will buck easily into shape when it comes time to reassemble the device.

Wow - your web site is amazing! Please now restore a TF so I can copy exactly what you do.

Thanks for the info and directing me to you site.

You know, I have a bunch of pictures of LaVerne's TF restoration. I am putting a chapter on the differences in my book.
