Anotehr option would be to use an autobody 'stud gun'. Weld the stud onto the rievt then 'yank' the rivet out with puller >

I would think that would rather hard on the switch switching it under load.

Lift latch repair kit $28 . The joy of trying to remove a broken twist rivet , Priceless . Happy to say I finally have my lift latch back on the old D 15 . Wound up drilling a 7/32" hole and driving new rivet with new spring in . Better than a too short spring held together with wire . Thanks !

If you weld a washer and nut on melt candles on it while real hot . The rock back and forth bvb easy . That's how I got mine out of my D17 . Candle wax is great stuff. Got the idea from this forum .

Hay dusty... I'm thinking 40 amps would be fine, so maybe 4-10 on the primary. Shouldn't be a big deal...
Kinda gives me an excuse to get a big SSR (Solid State Relay) and have a 25cent micro computer turn it on remotely....
