Subject: Front seat hinge rechroming modification...
If you need to rechrome your front seat hinges you will need to take them apart.
To do this very carefully drill out the large rivet with a 16mm step drill (or drill) making sure you do not drill to a greater depth than the lip (around 2mm). Drill the secondary rivet down to the washer and knock off the washer.
Drill central holes in both rivets and tap threads. Find appropriate washers and countersunk machine screws and it should look like it does below when reconstructed.
Now for the rechroming!
