removing hinges tour pak
1. So i bought a tour pak off craigslist today for 180, perfect condition (1995 or so), only hitch is that it had been painted bright yellow, but they painted over the hinges.... so i started to drill out the rivets on the first set of hinges, and then realized that the bottom set of rivets on the lid, are pretty much on the lip, and there is no way i would be able to get rivets like that back in there, or even a screw for that matter..... So i guess i'm forced to have the body shop paint over the hinges....... unless theres a trick to getting them back on, pictures would be a great help.
2. here are some pictures... and also, before i even worry about paint, i can add a backrest to this right? or did i mess up and buy one thats not made for it? (if i have to drill holes thats fine)....

That's about as good a price as you will get on the hinges. You'll never regret putting them on. As far as drilling out the old ones, don't be afraid. There's enough meat on the lid to drill them out. My suggestion is to replace the rivets with cap screws, lock washers, and nuts. Don't forget the locktite.
