hi..

where can I get some rivets to attach my window to my cover...

also, what's the best way to drill these holes? Should I clamp the window and the cover together and make 1 pass or drill my holes in the metal, then mark the holes with a marker, and drill the holes separately...

thankie
 
For rivts any hardware store should have the type of rivts you need. My expearnce has been that if you can clamp the window to the metal then drill your holes you are better off doing that. If you just mark it with a marker and then drill you have more chance of your holes not lining up right. Then you are stuck.
 
for attaching windows i suggest using velcro or another adhesive, since if oyu screw it or rivet it in, it will crack over time since the case metal expands and contracts with temp osciliations (sp?)
