Rivets in an R1 can
How do you get them out? They have stupid nipples in the middle, thus preventing me getting a drill bit in!

And while I'm at it does anyone have a spare inlet-end cap for one for beer tokens? Mine's scuffed quite badly.

When I dismantled one recently I found that the centre pins in the rivets punch through fairly easily, which makes it a whole lot easier to drill the
rivets out

im also after an end cap have been searching for weeks, even almost had a row with a guy at aa16 who tried telling me that the end cap does not fit
over the tube but fits inside of it, he really didnt believe me and was no help at all

Wife is in - although I was nearly out! It got worse - I covered the play room carpet in bits of metal, soot and broken drill bits. I also found that
the wooden blocks in Jenga make a good drift to get the cap off!
Not what I was expecting after all that. I don't know if the earlier ones are different but the inlet is welded to the tube and the sleeve is
not removable. I've not removed the outlet cap yet mind. Rivets are from space or somewhere as well!
Dissapointed in A16 - they were going to be my first port of call.
