Default VS-704
I'll be ordering another one come Monday for peace of mind.....I just want to assure myself that this is beyond being salvagable....I messed up all 3 rivets on this, not once, but twice...drilled them out and here you have it....not happy.

Has anyone gone with anything this bad? Does an Opps rivet in any way assist with this? The far right is soo elongated....****!

as cheap as this part is, get another one. The problem is how do the other parts that mate up to this flange look?

and if you can make your photos slightly smaller it would be nice.

how did you drill those out? that is not a normal result for drilling out rivets, it looks like a little rodent chewed them out, with bite marks
