Hi Alan,
If EC does not offer a free and fast solution, I would consider finding a local clutch re builder and having him replace the rivets.



"Are people having a machine shop shoot new rivets or sending them in for repair?"

probably some are doing it themselves ... although the most prominent mention I've heard included drilling out the "dog bones" (connecting springs that are riveted at each end) to accommodate locally available rivets (ie drilling out METRIC RIVET SIZED holes to accept LARGER NON-METRIC SIZED rivets) ... not sure I'd go that way.

I have heard of EC having customers send defective SC pulleys directly to ASP to have rework done including having new rivets installed (a job they will do for $75 if contacted independantly).

BUT, you are in the land of metric .... so like I said I would find a local clutch/pressure plate rebuilder and have him handle it were I you.

Cheers,
Chris
