C3 Emergency Brake Chrome Trim Install Advice

[Jack O.]

Anyone have any pointers or instructions on best way to install the chrome trim piece that goes around the emergency brake opening on the emergency brake console of a '69. The original has hollow tits that appear to be "pressed" and spread evenly to give a rivet like attachment. I'm wondering best way to remove old (driil it out I'm thinking) and the best method/tools to use to install my the NOS replacement piece I have. Don't want to mess up either!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jack,
Perhaps some push-nuts would be less chancy than trying to set the hollow shafts like a rivet.
Are the shafts long enough to accept a nut?
The bubba in me thinks about epoxy too since I wouldn't want to risk damaging the chrome.
?

That's a great idea Alan. I'm going to look into that - saver as you said and if it doesn't work out no harm done most likely. Thanks!
