Frt. Brk. Rotor Rivets
I have owned C3's for over 20 years and have never had to replace a front rotor. I am now replacing all 4 on my 82'. The rears were not riveted, and thats easy, but I was surprised to find the front ones riveted. So I need to drill them out to put on the new rotors. Does anyone replace the rivets, or just let the wheel sandwich it on?
What do you think?

1) search is your friend, those rivets have been discussed to death. Short answer - they were put on for ease of line assembly. If your new rotors have the holes, the hubs can be tapped for a screw. If not, it's not a big deal.
2) George, all four rotors were riveted from the factory.
