Ideal 35 Door hinge

[David D]

I'm starting to restore this ideal 35, has anyone removed the side door from a ideal slider?  Are the hinges held to the machine body with rivets? attached picture.  I'm assuming I'd drill these out then replace with screws or bolts any suggestions? 

Thanks,
David

The one's that mount to the body should be screws . Tap it with new threads (10-32)

      I believe they are all rivets. Drilling them is the only way to remove the
hinges. You could re-install with pop-rivets if you have a hand rivet gun.
      Or you could use nuts and bolts to join the hinges to the body if you
have the breaker strip out.
       The inside of the door is lined with wood so screws can be drilled directly
into it.

Guys thanks for the responses,  I'll drill them out and then tap them or add nuts w/bolts.
