I just rebuilt one the other day. It went good, only had a little bit of a challange with the rivits on the straight rubber piece.

There was another post some time ago that recommended not drilling out the pivot rivit and drilling out the rivit in the channel instead. I decided to drill the pivot and replace it with a stainless screw and nylock nut. The whole project went off fairly well.

All said and done, I was out about $40 for the pair. That is a hell of a lot cheaper than the new/rebuilt ones that I have seen for sale.
