[Healeys] remove engine number plate

Hi, Niels -

The rivets have a threaded shank and can be removed like a screw.  
File or grind a flat on top of the rivet and then cut a slot in it for a
screwdriver.  A Dremel tool works well for this.  Mine turned out rather
easily, but if they are stubborn use a penetrating oil, a little patience,
and perhaps an impact screwdriver.

Planning to clean up the engine block on my BJ8, can you somehow take off
the
engine number plate without damaging it, are the rivets possible to get out
somehow?
