    I have not seen these stands in close. Could anybody who has one post some pictures of it here. Some dimensions would also be great. We use this cooker for our events and it works well. Would be easier to use these stands though. Cheers

    Sorry to resurrect but did anyone get measurements for the stands?

    Sorry, no idea. 

    The rivets maybe too distorted to measure but the size of the hole maybe measurable, and give you the size of the rivet. 

    Sorry it was a throw away type of question, yes the holes are measurable will do my usually trick of getting drill bits to see, provisionally I think about 2.5mm to 3mm.

    The guide is a great help as well

    Thanks

    Plenty of copper rivets on ebay, even some imperial sizes. 

    Thanks, will have a look, the manufacturers label is covered in paint so not sure which size metric or imperial i need yet.

    The point you have made does bring another question to light at what point would the sizes be changed to metric?

    That's just a blind rivet that has been peened over I think.  Should tap out with a fine on the back

    Thanks, just going to head out and get them off, then to sand blaster

    Push rivet  ?    Spline drive rivet  ?     Hardly - that seems thin sheet metal.  What can be seen of the head on other side ?   Probably just dome/button-head small soft iron rivets.

    Heading out to shed today will get  picture of the rear

    Thanks, I have plenty of screwdrivers that might work and as always will go carefully.

    Thinking out loud as I do, Think will try and knock the back where no plate.

    Will then know size of rivet needed and after treatment how to secure them

    What I learned in the last 6 months

    I was chatting to an engineer the other day and we were discussing the lock down, he had been speaking to a friend of his who was fed up of the lock down, the engineer asked him what he had learnt in the last 6 months, his friend said nothing.

    The engineer said he felt his friend had not thought properly.

    I said I had learnt to refurbish stoves, learnt to change the oil on a land rover and soldering, yes simple things so thought it might be a good topic to start.

    Many thanks, was thinking of the usual a drill but will try your suggestion when I can find a blunt chisel, have a fabricators not far from work they may have one.

    Will do some research on push rivit's, every day a school day and I do like this form of learning

    Just added another stove and decided to strip it down and get it sand blasted, I am going to remove the instruction labels which appear to be a cold rivet.

    Can some one advise if this assumption is correct and if so any source I think they are about 2 maybe 3 mm diameter.

    If not may use a pot rivet instead.

    Thanks in advance.

    Perhaps a 24V battery charger could be used. Some larger models, for forklifts, can supply 60A or more. Then there is this from a US site

    https://www.altendc.com/

    Perhaps there is something similar available in the UK.

    Thanks, for this, i think my issue will be the wiring from the 4 pins to the connections especially as one is a thermostat, still thinking about how to do it

    So -  to continue ,  QUERY - you thread 'header'  :-

    NOTO

    Is a  NOTO  a typo error  ?      

    Or is a  NOTO  pintle , a nuance off  ARRSE  used to describe a gloss red pintle on a WALT 'show-queen'  that will never be used for actually towing ?    that probably c/w a 2" hemp recovery rope coiled around the front bumper.

    Normally you would use a pair of circlip  pliers, but a flat-bladed screwdriver in the gap between the pin and clip when twisted should pull one leg clear, then repeat for the other. Alternatively, a flat piece of steel gently hammered against the ends of the clip should push it clear.

    Many thanks,  I couldn't see the holes in the picture above and at the moment to much paint on the actual part couldn't see the holes for the pliers, it does make sense to me now you have mentioned it, as always the big thing is learning.
