Not sure if it was on here, but a while back someone posted details of a quick and easy fix for stripped light rim holes on a Special/SX headset, using rivets I believe, does anybody remember this that could point me to the topic, or indeed re-explain it all?

Thanks

These http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M4-Steel-Flat ... 3a5fabd5c1 I think it was on the LCGB site.This what I've used on mine on the bottom 2 on the lower part of the headset,held in place behind the original thread hole with some "liquid metal",then used a couple of screws from a phone socket to attach as the original ones are to small,unless you can get some smaller rivnuts.hope this helps.

what you could do mike is thread a ally rod to m5 .then tap and loctite in place ...then cut of excess and drill and tap using the rim with both halves together as a guide
