    Hi all, I've got the end cap to fit onto my Black Edition Racefit.

    All looks straightforward.

    I was after some tips for drilling out the existing rivets that hold the end piece on, and maybe some fitting tips?

    Cheers.

    I drilled out old rivets first then slotted in new cap and used marker pen to draw where holes needed to be then took off, make sure you get the old rivets ends out

    Then used a 3mm drill to to put in some pilot holes before drilling to size think the rivets are about 5.5mm then popped end cap back on and rivet up

    I bought stainless rivets for mine, I am not sure of size, chances are either 3/16" or 5mm Take your time cover parts with tape, cardboard etc so if the drill or any other things slip you do not end up with a big scratch down your can, You know any marks will be at the top not the bottom
