Surely all these rivets do is hold the stud in position, they are hardly "safety critical". The main clamping force is applied when the wheel nuts are done up.Spot on mk-1
Assuming the availability of a drill bit the right size ......many may not have.

Robert, Ian......the strain to pull the stud bit out of the flange of a one piece would be rather large and I would not expect just a stud shape to be pulled out. (as in the photo)....rather a more ragged end. Also there is not the slightest hint of a radius where the stud would have met the flange. Mysterious. Perhaps mine were an inferior previously made different type fitted by a PO.
