| Depends on how its mounted originally, you can drill the rivets out on the mount that goes into the actual wing element and re-rivet it, on origin ones, ive even heard of people heating up the glue where its bonded to the wing element and pushing it out little by little, which sounds fucking retarded to me. I would just remove it and try to rivet it. I was lucky, my Voltex was originally for an FD3S, mega wide posts were already there. | |

| Yeah, I re-riveted ALLL the shit on that CF Voltex a million times over, it was a double decker so there was mad rivets on it. Never had one really come out, even after hitting bullshit with it by accident sometimes. Edit: After all the screws fell out of the wing one by one from vibration and shit I just riveted it all and never had that shit go loose again. You can see some stress cracks from the swelling of the rivet but I didnt give a fuck and neither should you. | |
