Hi All,
Went to change the grey plastic out on the Dr Who mini-playfied, 30
second job I thought. Then I realised that there were rivets holding
on the bulb parts, OK so now I've got to drill out the rivets, and
replace them. Not a big deal, but not a 30 second job either.

I'm thinking to myself, "Why did they use rivets? Was it cost?
Efficiency? Easier production process?"

Can anyone shed any light?

regards
paul

easier production, more reliable than screws.
