Um.... so after you melt out the rubber ...then what.i would want to inspect the rubber before I destroyed it.there is a right and wrong way to do things.
beancooker.my first several attempts at repairing the nosebridges were just god awfull,they worked...but they weren't pretty .and through trial and error they got to be much better.the main 2 keys were figuring out the rubber situation and making the new stainless steel rivits .0015" larger than stock, and radiused on the front.i had a machine shop cut these on a swiss screw machine.
