Re: [A/S] Repair sewage valve pull

[j.dandrea@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi.  I crawled under the AS when I was at the beach and inspected 
the valve pulls for the Soveriegn.  The one for the grey water tank 
is in-tact and very stiff to pull.  I tried lubricating it with 
three in one and will try again when I am back out to the beach at 
the end of the month.  The pull for the Sewage valve has broken off 
where the outside  sleeve is rivited to the inside solid steel rod.    
When I looked at the intact pull on the grey water tank I could see 
that there is a pop rivit that runs through the end of the sleeve 
and the metal pull.  The steel rod  then goes to the valve inside 
the tank.

Has anyone successfully repaired this?  I am thinking about crawling 
under with a drill and drillling out the existing pop rivet and then 
running a narrow piece of wire through it or maybe a loop of metal 
that is harder than wire.

Anyhow, any ideas?
