Howdy,

I am installing a Craig 73 Communications box on my 923-a2. I want to remove two fuse boxes and I would prefer to remove them without simply destroying them as someone may be able to use them for their project...

Here are the boxes I want to remove:

It appears to me that grinding the inside rivets will require cutting out all of the insides.

All thoughts, comments and suggestions Greatly Appreciated!

Drill the rivets from the outside looks like you can access all of them from the outside

Howdy Jeff,

The rivets do not go all of the way through to the interior wall so drilling/grinding the rivets from the outside is required. I was hoping to learn of a way to remove the guts of the box without destroying them to facilitate easy access to drilling the rivets.

This weekend I will cut out the insides and then remove the rivets.

Thanks for the comments!

Tom
