Lian Li PC-Q10: Rivet (?) removal question. Not sure if these are even rivets

So I'm modding the mentioned case, and of all things, the only place they used rivets was on the PSU mounting bracket.


Obviously "drill it", but I'm looking to minimize damage to the case. I have spare screws and would like to adapt it to use those, although finding a matching tap is probably not gonna happen.

I'm removing that entire section the rivets hold on, but want the option to re-add it late (nut+bolt would do it).

The reason I'm making this thread is because these rivets don't look normal. They look like two pieces conjoined very similar to pins on an old Intel stock heatsink. i.e. you push the pin through the hole and it pushes the fins apart on the other side, thus gripping.

I was curious if anyone knows of a way to remove these without destroying them, so I might be able to use them later.

Like, I call them rivets because that's what they kinda look like, but they're not metal. They feel/look like matte plastic. But then the metal frame of the case is the same finish.

Are you relocation the psu location? I mean the metal bracket that the PSU sits on is just screwed on that cross frame section.

I'm moving the PSU. If I remove that bracket, I can fit a 240mm radiator inside the case (potentially).

I'm not getting a 240mm radiator. I'm just saying. I'm gonna use that spot for other things.

Cut the 1 side off with a grinder?, Just seems like its probably crucial for structural stability

Eh maybe not that structural, on a different look at the case.

Can you see the backside? Use a mirror? Magnifying glass?

Those pictures are the front and back.

On further inspection, those are definitely metal rivets. No way around drilling them out. ._.

Guess I'll have to find another more sleek way to re-add it later if necessary.
